"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.

there is no stopping it

at the lowest i'd say sustenance and spread of genes

so why delay it?

stop the nihilism you twat

its not nihilism. its an honest question.

Also I just noticed this is the newsroom

it is a nihilistic question, figure it out yourself

we all die, this is a fact. Yet we try so hard to try and survive. Why?

because that's the only way you will accept the answer that does not kill you

everyone has a reason.
