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.

<:high_iq:382980759012638731>

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?

That is a slippery slope.

Lol

Genetically gay <:think_woke:378717098681171988>

Yep, I believe in free will. Our processes are like a series of subroutines for many situations, but the uncharted territory between those situations is where we have free will

I suppose violent pathology is indeed undesirable. But you will weed that out, and then what will you cut out?

Hey now, you're the one advocating for Eugenics right now lol

I'm not.

Oh okay

legit congrats you've headed off my argument at the pass and given me something to think on.
