Hey, finally, a helpful post that adresses the op! Thanks dude. I'd have to agree with you, I did frame life as a continual unrewarding climb towards ...

See what happening? People getting burned out? People feeling loss more than gain? That's all pretty basic human psychology if you ask me. Why? Those ...

Yeah, but my question was about how best to live one's life with the knowledge that things are bad either way. Damned if you do, damned if you don't, ...

But they do still need to pursue more sex. They have sex once, then twice, then again, and again. Even if the time interval between instances of sex i...

Thanks for the recommendation, I will check him out. Can you recommend me specifically which of his stuff I should get into? No, they are connected, b...

I need to clarify that this is really more of an issue when one's base level of happiness is low, or when there's suffering involved. I'm aware that h...

Thank you for your in depth analysis and striking insight into my post! I feel like I've had my mind read. This reply truly shows your depth of experi...

This is what made me think we were talking about physical traits, not brains or moral character. Many guys choose women based entirely off of looks, n...

Here's the problem I have with this avenue of thinking. To 'discriminate' can mean "the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of peo...

Hey thanks for the reply. That's what I've always heard, start learning about Nietzsche before you actually read any of his stuff. I wanted to read bi...

Hi Nagel, you seem to have a decent grasp on Nietzsche, (as much as anyone can) can you recommend me a good starting place for someone trying to get i...

I wasn't being that skeptical about it. I agree that we can vaguely understand morality without being able to act it out. I just think something like ...

It doesn't make any sense? But which premise do you deny? Hey, try not to play the "idiot's veto," okay?
February 24, 2021 at 13:39
No. I'm going out of my way to get things. Just not without skepticism. You really seem to think that you can just post a controversial piece, and the...

No, I don't see how that's true at all. Almost by definiton, your shoe's purpose is to hammer in nails. If your end is to hammer a nail, that implies ...

No, I don't think it does. When you are in a prison, and you ask your cellmate, "why are we here?" that begs the answer: because somebody else put us ...
