why the hell would I be stupid enough to depend on them

altruism in humans is pretty natural. it creates a safety net between eachother in a community. I help my neighbor, he helps me.

This is what a materialist society does to children. This guy here

then why dosen't socialism work

AnCaps would bar themselves lol

why does socalism always fail.

@Harazu Keshtah because it's forced you numbnuts

we see the same behaviour in other cultures, and in animals.

because its forced

thats not altruism.

It's theft

the way you're describing communites sounds pretty damn forced

???????

Objectivism > Altruism

I want to help my neighbor so he helps me, that sounds forced?

<:pepe_smug:560207654207750154>

Why, because NORMAL people give back to their communities?

You say it's fine for society to force expectations and that those who opt out of such societies are a stain upon humanity. You judge others based upon your own idealistic nonsense, get off your high horse @Fitzydog

that's payrment for services rendered

Its not about being stupid enough, just being at the right place in the right time. You want to see a society where members of the community don't give a shit about each other, look at China. There people who get in car accidents purposely try to kill the other person after so they don't have to pay for there damages. Is that the kind of community you want to live in?

you're just taking a rain check on the returned goods

I help my neighbor because when the need arises (and it always does) I would hope he'd return the favor

I respond to requests, not demands.

oof

@EnderOctanus For opting out? No, for not having the normal human behaviors we all expect is why he's a stain.

And it's true, he's a genetic abberation most likely

my mutation might be the path to leading humanity foreword.

And that is your flaw. You think you are objectively right about things we know basically nothing about and can only postulate.

Nah, it's probably a dead end like the neaderthals

@EnderOctanus I make guesses

I don't pretend to know how the human mind words I've come to realize that it's an enigma beyond my limted reasoning capacity.

Self assurance isn't inherently bad, but using it as a way to look down upon others usually is what we fight against in the first place.

He doesn't like the idea of communities helping each other, and doesn't feel that evolutionary drive to not be the dick who mooches.

Most behavior is genetic. Thus, an abberation

how deep do you belive these genes go in determining behavior.

Very

They go very deep ^

80% of IQ is genetic, most of our genome is for our brains

Then there are humans with genes that are socially undesirable?

Yeah

Like you

and now for the slam dunk question. do you believe in free will?
