You're only happy because you forced dopamine to be released--that's it. You didn't accomplish anything.And yes, it's most definitely artificial happiness.

Before this thread I was pretty much a nihilist, but now I prefer whatever you call trying to be productive. I'm not quite a utilitarian, but I believe that life doesn't hold a purpose, so you should make the purpose to produce as much as you can. Be evil, be good, it doesn't matter. Be producitve in the way that you think is the best.

Correct. There is no such thing as artificial, at all.
Well hmm, "artificial" implies "unnatural", doesn't it? You idiot.
Oh sure it's possible, but why forgo a chance to increase it even more, or just stimulate happiness.
Plus, all your "non-artificial" happiness is from drugs, every day.
And LOL BS you're happy. I see you post all the time about how seriously depressed you are.

By my logic there is NO artificiality. So once again, you're wrong.Wrong again, being happy over nothing has the benefits of being happy and producing a healthy state of being. To argue otherwise is insane ignorance of the highest degree. You choose every day to ingest drugs that cause happiness. EVERYTHING is within your control - don't try to dodge responsibility for your actions. You can choose not to be "artificially" happy at any time, since "real" happiness is unachievable, apparently.LOL I understand what depression is, and it's the opposite of happy. So once again, you're wrong. You're not happy, you're depressed. That's why it's called DEPRESSION. I'm so glad I've got a depressed boy trying to tell me how to be "truly" happy. I see it's really working out. Come back and give advice on happiness once you're "truly" happy and not depressed. It defeats your whole argument.
