So what? You're a cabbage patch kid and I'm a care bear and then what ?
I'm getting sick of everything.

Originally posted by Rear Naked Joke What do you mean "logic checks out"?
Lots of people have very vivid dreams and accept them as true because they accept the logic of the dream.
I have a set of logical rules based on what I've learned about the world in my quarter decade of life, which I use to check against my perception. That's how I determine what's real.
Whether you abide by those rules, or agree with my perception of reality, I do not give a flying fuck. Nobody has doubted my expression of what I believe to be reality thus far, and frankly, talking like this gives me a headache. It's such a stupid topic of discussion and if there is truly any reason to hate Obbe, it should be because he made this thread.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Obbe Then I look at people like Jeff Bezos who has more money than he could actually spend, and all his employees struggling to get by.
Hey man, they're called the one percent for a reason.
There's also dudes like the former CEO of Cathay Pacific who are willing to cut their ridiculous salary to pay employees more, and refused to fire employees who participated in the hong kong protests after the CCP put pressure on the company to. Instead, he fired himself, since he supported the demonstrations.
There will always be good and bad in every faucet of life. Bad and abusive people just tend to have a leg up since they're manipulative and dont care about pushing others down. But good people can achieve greatness all the same.
I really believe the best leaders are the ones who never wanted to lead in the first place. Exorbitant wealth and power tend to be more motivating for the selfish and superficial.
Also CandyRein is a nigger. -

Originally posted by Rear Naked Joke What makes that real as opposed to a hallucination?
As someone who has minor hallucinations on a daily basis I absolutely need to believe that the beetles I see are real.
I can tell they are real because the beetle will pass all logic tests. Does the beetle look real? Feel real? Smell real? Taste real? Is it interacting with the world in a real way? Does it make sense that a beetle would be there?
These are the same tests most people use to discern reality. I just do it in a much more conscious and active way.
If you want to know how it is that I can trust all my senses... I CANT. That's why I use multiple tests. Sometimes they're too quick for tests and I go about my day not knowing whether or not the beetle was real. That's just life. I try not to worry about it too much.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Obbe According to the "about" page we are in a society in decline.
I like to think most people are good natured. But I'm not convinced. A large portion of society seems to revolve around fucking other people over so that you might have a chance to get ahead.
That is human nature and a natural thing to feel.
Most of the time we don't do that. I mean, have YOU ever fucked anyone over to get ahead? Your family, your friends? People you meet?
I think those people are quickly outed in their individual social groups. It's only when they're rich and powerful that it's a real problem.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

We've all had moments where the righteousness of what we have done or haven't done has been called into question.
We've all had stupid moments. A few weeks ago I briefly forgot what month it is, so now the dental hygienist probably thinks I'm retarded.
But for the most part we keep things moving and we do good things and help our fellow man.

Originally posted by Rear Naked Joke Because the point was to make a distinction between THE purpose (which you said) and A purpose. That is, it is not somehow "the point", like being the answer to the question "what is the purpose of my existence?"
However after reading the first sentence your made in china brain zapped the fuck out and you didn't contextualise it with the second one.
Let me break it down even further for you.
A Von Neumann machine is a machine that can replicate itself. It is the basic "unit" of evolution. Evolution happens when a Von Neumann machine creates a nearly perfect copy of itself. If these machines require resources to run, batural selection happens when these copies then, based on their slight variations, begin copying at differential rates based on selection pressures. Some copies come out retarded and malfunctional, sterile or incapable of sufficiently gathering resources. Perhaps resources are scarce and copies that would have been fitter in times of abundance now die off due to famine.
Essentially, your whole body's engineering towards the operation your mouth to sustain your dick and maneuver it into puss.
But that does not mean that's what you should do with it. It's not "the" purpose of your body and your self. Many other purposes have evolved within your body in the course of those basic motivations. You have evolved many degrees of freedom, including some that other animals evolve independently as well to cope with famine or plague, such as the ability to delay or forgo reproduction for the good of the herd (gay uncle genes) or for other similar aims.
all i want you to answer is a simple yes or no.
is our purpose, the purpose of humans, to libe and breed ?
no need to go off on a tangent. amd if you wanted context all you need to do was to scroll or swipe up.
btw, while not every 'a' purpose is 'the purpose', all 'the purpose' is 'a' purpose.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Rear Naked Joke No, I said design is making something for a specific purpose. The purpose for which humans are ultimately made is to survive.
then why didnt you just said yes when i asked

but instead of saying yes, you went

Originally posted by Rear Naked Joke That's because you are retarded and don't understand English.
So saying "the purpose of your design" is just saying "your were fashioned towards a purpose, that purpose is X".
no, you're saying our existence is the purpose of our design on one hand,
while saying our design is how we are constructed for our purpose on the other.

Originally posted by Bill Krozby I agree with this except the whole killing yourself part. I actually get this from dudes more so to be honest, I know a lot of women that like to chit chat and spitball but they usually want me to to say something back.
But yeah I was thinking about this the other day, when I got my job back at the krusty krab I agreed to help out this one asshole that never gets a day off (he volunteers to work everyday because he has no life/is a try hard, literally works at the same place as his mom) but anyways I agreed before going back to the oyster bar full time to help him do the charlie work, I like talking to people at work to pass the time but the dude was so intense, he was one of the pussy is pussy kinda guys, id engage him but it just became too much like he was trying really hard to impress everyone, my boss even told me (the douchebag didn't work there when I originally did) that the guy really wants to feel needed..
It's just really annoying, he's 25 or 26 or something but constantly talks about super hero bullshit, and he'll go on about the movie blade and will be like "jamie foxx was great in that movie" and I've had to tell numerous times that wesely snipes.. he even came to work wearing a toystory 2 shirt.. like wtf..
It got so bad that one day I just quit talking to him and later that night I told him I can't stand working with you telling carter I'm going to quit if he doesn't move be back to the oyster bar sooner or later, and the got really passive aggressive.
I mean everyone talks inane bullshit at some point but when you're constantly being pressured into its
AHHHH GET OFF OF ME!

All your stories end in you doing some antisocial shit. What kind of fuckass tells their coworker they can't stand working with them? This is why you're always jumping around from job to job and from girl to girl. You have a big mouth.

Originally posted by Rear Naked Joke It's a purpose of your design, to effectively persist in the world.
so if we apply your definition of what "design" is according to this :
Originally posted by Rear Naked Joke Design is when something is fashioned for a specific purpose.
we will get this as an answer for our purpose :
Originally posted by Rear Naked Joke It's a purpose of your [fashioned for a specific purpose], to effectively persist in the world.

Originally posted by Rear Naked Joke When did I say "not the humans"? Humans have been designed, by natural selection. To survive and bear offspring. But that's just the backbone for all sorts of exploration into design space because you have to exist to do anything like that.
so our purpose is to merely survive and reproduce ?The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
