Neither do I. But the realism here adds to the gameplay by making it less of a gimmicky "stealth" game (like the previous games were, let's be honest) and more of a stealth simulator. What are you trying to say? Genres are gimmicks?

The Fermi Paradox is pretty stupid, in my opinion. It's tantamount to claiming that because a person in San Diego is capable of walking to New York in a year, that he should have stumbled upon a random person in Texas in a few months.
Big difference between a year and 13.8 billion years.

My question is if Mega Evolution will still be a thing after Gen 6.
Definitely. You think they'd just drop the concept?

Well, yeah. That's how you say it. It's a one syllable word.

I wouldn't describe us as god
Depends how you define God, I guess. If you literally define it as "that which gives the Universe value" then sentient life could indeed collectively be considered God.
But that's a silly definition anyway.
whatever gets me through to jim, man

The concept is interesting, and something else I have not given much thought. I am comfortable with that idea so long as I can live immortal with the ones I care about, but it is hard for me to accept otherwise. But it's a new idea (to me), and something I'd be interested in entertaining more often. Because that, in a weird way, is my philosophy. I wouldn't describe us as god, but I would say that, without us, the universe really does have no value--but we're here, and we're conscious of it, and we possess the ability to make the most of it, so... why not make the most of it.

Not really. I'd honestly have to think about it, but I don't know if I want to have to make that decision.
Yes, you're right, society has no value at all is what I meant to say.
Fair enough. I'm glad I appear to have asked a question you haven't thought about before. How about this: I posit that we, the human race, as a collective, are taking the role of god. Not just taking the role--we are god. We make the rules. We create value in the universe. And we decide our fate--live & prosper, or suffer & die. What do you think of that?

A productive society has no value in the universe without a creator.
If we were to achieve immortality, and I was not able to bring back the lives of the ones I care about, I would probably kill myself anyway.
But regardless, my philosophy would be drastically different. The concept of immortality (on this Earth) is frankly terrifying to me, and something I hope we never experience.
Wouldn't you rather have a say when you die? "A productive society has no value" is an oxymoron, by the way. "Value has no value?" I thought you said you weren't here to shitpost.

Human beings are going to be around for a very long time. It would be in our best interest, as a collective, to make sure everyone lives a safe and happy life free of all pain, suffering, or discomfort. That's an ideal. That's a goal.

Why would you give a shit about them? What purpose could you possibly have for caring? After you die, you are physically incapable of caring, what with the whole not existing anymore. Because I have empathy. If I don't like suffering, I can logically conclude that I wouldn't want anyone else to suffer either. This is not only humane--it's conducive to a productive and sustainable society. If no one cared about one another, nothing would ever get done. They say it's only a matter of time before we achieve immortality. If you never died, and there's still no god, how would this affect your philosophy?

Because everything you experience will be gone by the time you die, as though you never experienced it in the first place. That doesn't mean the whole universe dies with me. When I die, I will be survived by 7.2 billion people (and probably a trillion different non-human species) in my wake. I care about them. Their welfare. I couldn't give a fuck about me in the grand scheme.

Guys... Guys. Holy shit.
I think I just got a message from God, guys.
And he said...
If Jim isn't dead in 24 hours, he's gonna blow up the universe.

Why does nothing matter if there is no god?
I honestly couldn't give a fuck if there's a god or not. It makes no difference to my day-to-day life. I can be a good, moral person with or without him.

Why is there a reason to care about anybody if there is a god?
What if I'd rather kill everyone and fuck god in the ass? What if I don't care what god thinks?
Why is god the arbiter of morality?

« on: September 09, 2015, 09:51:51 AM »
Because we have defined health as "not being ill." We have defined morality as "the difference between right and wrong" but fail to define "right and wrong" with any objectivity. Wrong: Any state of disutility imposed on sentient life forms that is not offset by its utility, if any at all.
That isn't objective.
. . .
How is it not? Disutility is a measurable, non-arbitrary phenomenon.
How can you define it as objectively "wrong?"
Because nothing good or useful--to anyone--comes from it.

Why is that the only sane definition?
Because you can't come up with any definition that doesn't involve the welfare of sentient beings, and if you could, you wouldn't be able to make a rational argument for it. That's the challenge. Minimizing negative sensation and maximizing positive sensation. What is the best possible definition that would suit that goal? OR, is the goal itself flawed in any way? I don't think so.

I would actually very much be interested in being convinced that morality is actually an objective set of ideas, rather than a subjective one, as I currently view it. That's why I'm discussing it here. I'm fully capable of arguing about the morality of actions within general human parameters (Don't hurt others, be nice, don't steal, etc.), and am fully capable of making monumental progress without diving into the gritty, depressing topic of moral nihilism.
good and now i've lost track of where you're having trouble
