Isn't staying alive all of our goals in life?

2020-12-09 21:16:43 UTC  

dont chrisitans put a large value on the after life

2020-12-09 21:16:47 UTC  

"Survival is not the primary things in our life."

Are you sure about that? Literally everything you do can be Darwinianly explained by survival. There is a field in psychology called evolutionary psychology. That field explains how even modern man's choices are traced by survival instinct. Just because you live in an appartment with an air conditioner does not mean you are devoid of survival instinct.

2020-12-09 21:17:12 UTC  

Yeah and?

2020-12-09 21:17:35 UTC  

@Smash Boy You explained it way better than I could have

2020-12-09 21:18:39 UTC  

Thomas Nagel would disagree.

2020-12-09 21:18:57 UTC  

i mean, i cant hang out with friends, i need to get food to survive or i cant watch this movie i dont have enough water in order to live. survival instict is natrual within us all and for good reason. ur body natrually says hey go drink water or go eat food. by survival i was last talkibg about i mean primitive survival, where your life is dedicated to getting food or finding shelter

2020-12-09 21:19:04 UTC  

thats how i interpret it

2020-12-09 21:19:45 UTC  

"Where your life is dedicated to finding food and shelter"
Literally all you said prior to that is precisely an attempt to find food and shelter.

2020-12-09 21:20:02 UTC  

And your interpretation is philosophically naive.

2020-12-09 21:20:14 UTC  

but It's like a decesion that we make invoulentarily

2020-12-09 21:20:20 UTC  

do you go hang out with your friends, or do you drink alchohol

2020-12-09 21:20:36 UTC  

False dichotomy.

2020-12-09 21:20:50 UTC  

I can do both.

2020-12-09 21:20:57 UTC  

Hang out and drink wine.

2020-12-09 21:21:17 UTC  

What? I'm a Paleocon Christian.

2020-12-09 21:21:17 UTC  

alchohol is inherently bad for survival

2020-12-09 21:21:40 UTC  

ouch

2020-12-09 21:21:44 UTC  

to both of us opp

2020-12-09 21:22:00 UTC  

"Inherently bad for survival"

All opiates are bad when consumed in excess. But it's more nuanced than that.

2020-12-09 21:23:44 UTC  

Are you talking about me?

2020-12-09 21:24:06 UTC  

I was responding to chleb.

2020-12-09 21:24:17 UTC  

I was rebutting his claims.

2020-12-09 21:25:03 UTC  

i am saying if everything you do is to survive, drinking wine is hypocritcal of what u said

2020-12-09 21:25:15 UTC  

Bruh this is <#762720224268910632> channel.

2020-12-09 21:25:24 UTC  

i am a leftist

2020-12-09 21:25:28 UTC  

and they want me to meltdown

2020-12-09 21:25:42 UTC  

no we are having a civilized debate

2020-12-09 21:25:49 UTC  

with a leftist

2020-12-09 21:25:53 UTC  

sure

2020-12-09 21:25:57 UTC  

This channel is meant to showcase those meltdowns and not necessarily want them.

2020-12-09 21:26:01 UTC  

In evolutionary psychology, drinking wine can be liken to an animal seeking opiates to alleviate their pain as a survival coping mechanism.

2020-12-09 21:26:21 UTC  

You’re drinking wine calm down lol.

2020-12-09 21:26:49 UTC  

Well duh, I know that. I'm arguing that even under an evolutionary worldview, all your decisions will still be linked to your past which chleb seems to be unaware.

2020-12-09 21:27:26 UTC  

or drive a car

2020-12-09 21:27:32 UTC  

you're thinking of it too technically

2020-12-09 21:27:56 UTC
