but it's possible that psychopathy is the next evolutionary step for humanity.
Have you ever noticed how any intelligent species with a decently functioning social order has a capacity for empathy?
It's quite literally the emotional foundation for all of civilisation.
I'm not disagreeing, but there are always examples of rich, successful people who are responsible for the misery of thousands or even millions of people.

I almost feel like I'm hardwired to feel empathy. I can come to the logical conclusion that psychopathy is probably the most effective evolutionary mindset, but I can't actually hurt other people for the betterment of myself.
We evolved to be cooperative and social. Evolutionarily speaking, psychopathy isn't all its cut out to be.
Maybe, but it's possible that psychopathy is the next evolutionary step for humanity. Genetic evolution doesn't encompass all of evolution, there is also biological tolerance and cultural evolution. But you're probably right. Is there really a point in existing if you're not living?

Never.
Elaborate. Unless you're joking.
Well, never at least until we evolve away from humans.
I'm not pessimistic about our future as a race. I'm sure that there'll be setbacks and all that, but I think that, ultimately, we will continue to develop and evolve until we get to the point that it is impossible for us to go extinct. Obviously, I can't be sure, no one can, but I just don't see us ever fucking up so badly that we go away.
I ask you to elaborate because I'm fairly certain everybody else in here is just doing what our ancestors have been doing for centuries. Oh yeah, that kind of talk annoys me. No, this generation isn't worse than the last one, no, today's world isn't more immoral than yesterday's, and no god damn it, the world isn't going to end any time soon.
Don't physics make any kind of system impossible to last forever?
Entropy and an accelerating expansion of the universe yes but the nature of systems like we're talking about here makes it pretty much impossible to predict an end date much beyond, "some point in the future".
I mean what you're talking is on the order of trillions of years m8.
Is that how long it's going to take for the Universe to collapse back in on itself?

With our current understanding, yeah.

he'd set out to make a caricature of those opinions, as opposed to representing them properly.
>assumptions
I don't have opinions on most things, I just like to argue things that are unpopular. The only real opinion I have is that I'm not in the position to argue the things I have no experience with.
>doesn't have an opinion >throws a tantrum like a 5 year-old
Making a large, colorful display isn't throwing a tantrum. I'm just elaborating the point that the mods need to make sure they're not one-siding things when they're dealing with 'bait'.

Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill!
If the mods were creationists, they would consider this bait. Just pointing out that you have liberal privilege on this forum.
Silly Dustin, I can't be a liberal. I'm racist!
For hating Islam and not understanding the difference between culture and religion? Is that what you're referring to? You know there are actually Islamic regions of the world that are nothing like the culture of the Middle East.

>tfw already on right
Same here. Most ethical standards liberals want to achieve aren't practical or beneficial. >Women should be able to wear whatever they want, wherever they want Yeah they should, but unless they actually want to increase their chance of rape, then they need to make a compromise. The real world really doesn't care about your feelings. >Kids shouldn't be born poor You have two options: ban poor people from reproducing or take kids away from their parents and have everyone raised by a huge conglomeration of government workers. Equalizing the wealth will turn everyone poorer than even what the poorest people were before, but as long as everyone is equal right? >We shouldn't go to war Okay then we'll just sit around and let dictators grow more powerful and ignore all the people being oppressed. Eventually they'll invade other countries (like Iraq and Kuwait) and if you wait long enough with your thumb in your ass they'll probably attack us too. The reason why Iraq turned back to violence was because we pulled out every last US military base and didn't bother to secure the country fully.

Here's an actual list of all the alts that I've made here:
>Biased Moderation >Craig Rock >Creator >Sky World >DeeJ >Swaggerific
There were actually more than this, but some accounts were deleted, like DeeJ. And some of these alts were instantly banned before I could even make a first post.

Hey Faggots, My name is John, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are fat, retarded, no-lifes who spend every second of their day looking at stupid ass pictures. You are everything bad in the world. Honestly, have any of you ever gotten any pussy? I mean, I guess it’s fun making fun of people because of your own insecurities, but you all take to a whole new level. This is even worse than jerking off to pictures on facebook. Don’t be a stranger. Just hit me with your best shot. I’m pretty much perfect. I was captain of the football team, and starter on my basketball team. What sports do you play, other than “jack off to naked drawn Japanese people”? I also get straight A’s, and have a banging hot girlfriend (She just blew me; Shit was SO cash). You are all faggots who should just kill yourselves. Thanks for listening.
Most people didn't get the joke and they're sitting here raging.

I'm not going to be a doctor, I changed my mind about that.
In other words you realized you're too stupid to be a doctor.
I was going to be a doctor because at the time I was interested in doing research but I've since changed my mind on that.

So you're going to Cali with your parents, a boring wedding, and then proceeding to hit on and get turned down by fat chicks, after which you'll go and get plastered from two cans of beer alone in your bedroom and then having your nightly cry wank?
I'm not jealous at all.
I'm not going with my parents, it's just me.

That's just how I've been for the past month or so. It's like I'm doing this shit and I really don't care. Not in the depressing kind of not caring, but in the comfortable, chill kind of not giving a shit. Not that I'm slacking in class, I'm getting shit done, but it's like I really don't care. If I died right now I really wouldn't care, that's how based I'm feeling right now. And it's not like there aren't problems I have to deal with, they just don't bother me that much. It's like I'm anti-depressed. You know how depressed people are aware of the same problems as they would be if they weren't depressed, but the problems affect them much more? I'm like the opposite. I'm aware of the same problems a normal person is aware of, they just affect much less.
Idk, but I really like it honestly. Anyone else have similar experiences to share?

Wow, you're going to college to live your life as a boring-ass doctor. Not only that, you'll be a SELF-RIGHTEOUS CALIFORNIAN WHO HAS SEX? WOW, THAT WOULD BE A FIRST
I'm not going to be a doctor, I changed my mind about that. And how the fuck am I self righteous? I don't even give a shit about the half the things that happen in this world.

Drinking two beers and getting plastered off of it and flirting with the little girls at a wedding is not my point of view for fun, but I digress. Have fun.
Actually the wedding is for my cousin, who's about eight or so years older than me. I won't know anyone, I won't be allowed to drink, and everyone will be older than me.

How's it feel losers? Once I pass these classes with straight As, I'm taking a plane to California the very next day after my last final exam. While I'm enjoying a free vacation with my friends, going to a wedding, sightseeing, kayaking a river all the way to San Francisco Bay, hiking up mountains and shit, and fucking lots of slutty Californian girls, you betas will all be stuck in your mom's house, doing nothing ever since you barely graduated high school.
I'll remember to take pics for you faggots. I leave on the 12th and come back the 20th, just in time for another party to get fucking drunk and wasted, pretty much all girls. Just keep it in the back of your head what you could be doing.
See you later, faggots.
