they thought of it as necessary evils

i feel like we are in "jews are evil because they are jews" argument.

that's just you thinking that

no, that is you too

you just admitted he reasons are "just because"

no, we're talking on a meta level here

I think what we're trying to say is that even extremely powerful and intelligent people can act pathologically.

you're invited to climb the ladder, come out of the box

and you're thinking in groups again, you assume we're talking about groups, while we're actually talking about systems

Soros himself has said that he has a "Savior Complex"

"you just admitted he reasons are "just because" at no point did I mention anything about jews kiddo. get your antifa bat back into the closet

you missed the point entirely

More like a thanos complex @Atkins 😮

fine, "god exists because god exists" argument

aka, "just because"

@Grenade123 oh we're playing that game again? "you missed the point entirely" No you did

everyone has a reason for doing things

even if their logic is twisted or warped

People are not machines. We are emotional beings made of meat and chemicals.

We don't perform like clockwork analytical engines.

okay, let me explain "just because" to you: it's fun. because it is fun. it's fun to gain, it's fun to win, it's fun making predictions and seeing you were right in your calculations and machinations coming true. mmmh, that tasty serotonin

and you couldn't say that before because....?

it's probably too obvious for me, sorry

We have so many things wrong with our brains that we have a huge list of specific names for them.

I've seen too many people solely acting for emotional self-reward and the like. Fewest of them "competent", but they all do it.

too many? try all people.

minus those who are logically beyond reason

or more accurately logical to the point they are labelled as being mentally ill.

no, there are exceptions. few in number but... there's little reason for you personally standing up for others you don't even know much in the face of danger

pathological altruists certainly are mentally ill in a way 😛

but then so is everyone who doesn't want to acknowledge the dark side, the evil disguised behind a smile, in humanity in the people around them

Not all people act solely for themselves. There is probably a few people on Earth that are truly selfless. Like Deku in the anime Boku no Hero

😃

>there are many be a few people
>only example is not a real person

yeah... but you have to competent enough and able to survive and sustain yourself in your selflessness

because most people who do that just die

or at least get so close to it that they grow bitter and shut themselves in

tell me, what is the point of survival?

depends on the resolution

we all die.
