pretty much spot on. its super easy to get laid in todays day n age with the internet. And also agree he's smart, but he thinks he's a little smarter than he is and over analyzes everything. "didn't wanna bang her she's a sloot anyways" and like many on the misc obsess over slots as if it'll solve everything

Yeah... no. This is so bull****. Don't even try to pretend you could care about every person on this planet that suffers because you couldn't. The only people you actually should care about are your family and your close friends. You're gonna live a sad life if you actually try to convince yourself that you should care about what happens to random people. Sure it's sad and everything but to actually waste your "****s" on it is pointless.

just lol@ this thread

nice thanksgiving rustlin'

Tons of novels

Who was the guy who died?

The saddest part about guys with the whole "getting sex/women is everything" mindset is that when they finally do start getting laid, they realize that yeah, it's cool, but it's not the meaning of life, and they spend years or decades of their lives being worried and anxious about nothing, and putting sex on this huge pedestal. I can't imagine what the disappointment would be like to think of sex/women/etc as this huge remarkable unattainable end goal of life until you're over thirty years old and then experiencing the actual reality of it all.

Wincel seems like a bright guy with a lot to offer (he's commented on my math/brainy topics a lot). It's a shame that he reduces the human spirit and experience to that of an amoeba.

I still think one of the more out there things I've heard from fas here is that guy who was super bitter that no woman would apparently put up with his apparent ugliness and disability, but then stated that if he ever did manage to find a woman who would "put up" with it d be with him, he'd leave her if she got cancer lmao.

Wtf.

Can't remember the details in going to have to look for it now to deal with my curiosity.

You aren't any better than an amoeba. Both you and the amoeba are lifeforms that exist currently and thrive. You each represent solutions to the evolutionary problem. Each extant species represents a kind of cluster of local maxima in some fitness landscape that changes in time as the environment changes. Evolution is an optimization algorithm.

We would like to believe ourselves to be superior to the amoeba or cyanobacteria or other lifeforms, but it is not so. Sure, we are smart, but intelligence is just one of many traits that helps lifeforms solve the evolutionary problem. Most of the successful lifeforms on this planet did not need to employ that strategy.

Furthermore, the nature of certain types of bacteria grants them the resilience to thrive in many environments that we could not. It is very likely that they will outlive our species. I believe intelligent life was destined to emerge, and our "purpose" is to send these microbes off to other habitable planets to start the cycle of growth and replication over again elsewhere. I believe this is the nature of life, and it is the manner by which life may survive the many coming disasters that our universe presents. Sadly, it is unlikely life will survive in the long run. It appears to only be a transient phenomenon, and specific challenges that the universe presents to life in the long run make it unlikely for any life to eventually exist in the very distant future.

Unlikely, but amusingly, not impossible -- especially if some models for how new universes form are valid. There may be a way to sneak some information through. lol...Who knows what the future will hold?

I honestly don't know why anyone is upset that wincel doesn't feel sorry for someone that died. It's sad that he died but wincel not feeling for sorry for him isn't going to make a difference.

I very highly doubt hoganrulz would care if I got sick or died.. so he is trying to claim he cares about some celebrity dying? that even makes him more of an ******* imo for only caring about people that die that are rich/famous.. what kind of shallow ******* you got to be to be selective that way...

brainwashed slaves of Chad

beta cuck wk provider mentality

u know the type that wingmans Chad and hopes for his sloppy seconds?

Gonna need cliffs on this entire thread, i need to catch up to this newest misc drama.

cliffs:

-some Chad singer with 6 kids died of cancer
-Wincel shed no tears and showed no sympathy
-cuck OP virtue signaled and called out Wincel
-The meaning and purpose of life and its ultimate fate is debated for 4 pages
-OP is confirmed a *******.

nothing more than a motley crew of meat puppets having an argument.

It's just virtue signalling which everyone does these days. No one actually really cares about these things, they can pretend or try to convince themselves they do which works for a lot of people. Why would I care what happens to some random someone, to some random celebrity when it has 0 impact on my life?

Donny is one of the few miscers who can actually call out a miscer and not get flak for it. These are my favourite kinds of threads because it actually tries to address the fact that we have some users with major problems and it brings them (the user) to the forefront instead of just having their mentality limited to the thread where it's on display where most people'll even skip it because of it not being the first post.

wincel is one of the lesser evils here, other posters could do with purging but I don't believe in speaking ill of the dead unless they were actually bad people. It's pretty telling, if someone dies and you have to drop red pill content on it. Such people should just keep it to themselves.

They say Bach can cure depression and i firmly believe the lyrics of Maria Carey's 'Hero' could save wincel.

And then a wincel comes along
With the strength to carry on
And wincel casts his fears aside
And wincel knows he can survive
So wincel when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And that emptiness you felt
Will disappear
And then a wincel comes along
With the strength to carry on
And wincel casts his fears aside
And wincel knows he can survive
So wincel when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

prime mariah was pretty hnnnnnng mane

dem teds

Probably because he's one that gives others flak for doing the same. However, I don't necessarily disagree with him

He's tried that with me, but he's just playin' (most of the time). It's hard to guage when Don is being serial and when he's not, so I just assume he's always taking the P with me and give it back. It always works out, shame wincel hasn't taken that approach.

Someone who gets 30k reps in the span of 6 months or so must have been recognised for his trolling caliber, I'd say.

Lol at thinking higher life forms have a “purpose” of sending microbes off to other potentially habitable places in the galaxy. Strong understanding of gene centric evolution.

"Higher"? You mean intelligent? Purpose in the sense of it being the natural order of things in the long run. I mean we will probably do it at some point. If we don't, then life will end here on Earth. (At least our type of life.) There is no "purpose" really except survival and reproduction of individuals. I used that language in a colorful way to talk about what might happen in the future for us. In a similar sense, we are mostly vehicles for microbes. We sort of always have been. From a zoomed out pov, it kind of is our "purpose".

You can't seem to comprehend that once the lights went on, how Sam Harris describes consciousness, human beings transcended base instincts and impulses to simply replicate. Furthermore, survival is also a core factor driving behavior and actions, and it would have been impossible outside of communities, groups, and hence in the absence of empathy, compassion, love, etc.


Also, your nihilistic logic simply devours itself. Followed to its logical conclusion, we're simply a rock spinning around a star in one solar system out of trillions in one galaxy out of four hundred billion. We all die, we're currently moving from a state of low entropy to high entropy, so in the end, what difference will it make if you reproduce and pass on your genes?

Here's a thought bro, focus on bettering your life and enjoying simple pleasures while they last, rather than trying to find refuge in pseudo-scientific reductionist nonsense.

I don't really know how to take him tbh, but he doesn't bother me either way

Higher as in how the term is traditionally used - so yes intelligence.

And I agree with most of your response, but in no way would I define any of that under “purpose.” The natural order of events is not purpose.

Intelligent life may or may not have been “destined.” In any event it didn’t have a purpose for continuing the cycle of life by sending microbes to new planets. Where would such “purpose” come from? Certainly not natural selection.

It might make a difference. If the microbes keep hopping from rock to rock, and intelligent life keeps emerging, it is possible that life may find the time to determine new ways to store the information and replicate it in the universe. They may even be able to find a way to pass it into new universes if certain models of cosmology turn out to be valid. It is a long shot, but life could survive theoretically in a very different form. This isn't pseudoscience so much as it is looking at science and then looking at what might be philosophically. I am not saying any of this will happen.

As I said, in all likelihood, life ends here on Earth. I was just looking at potential ways it could continue. Not sure why this bothers you. My statements were never against empathy, groups, love etc. Not sure where people are getting that. Also not sure why you brought up Sam Harris. I've seen some of his statements, and they seemed pretty good on some things. I know he is a biologist so he has studied evolution and natural selection. Anyway, we clearly evolved these traits because they were advantageous. Otherwise, we wouldn't have them. You can call what I say nonsense, but you haven't really presented any counterargument against it. Also, what is wrong with reductionism?

I like wincel. It's like adding some hot sauce to the food. Also, I think ~150,000 people die everyday and that's some spicy ****.

All macrscopic phenomena are "predestined" to a very excellent approximation. Anyway, that was why I put purpose in quotes. The intelligent life might send microbes out or it might not. If it doesn't, the life likely ends there on that planet. So, if you zoom out and tell the history of life, and if life left the planet, the "role" the intelligent life would have played in the story would have been to chuck the microbes to the next rock. Of course, there is no grand story, and no author. But you see what I mean.

Reductionism is often simplistic because it reduces complex phenomena to single variables--sometimes it is useful, but not when discussing issues such as human existence, consciousness, etc. Harris was trained in neuroscience, he has studied biology, the brain, and evolution, and he would never try to reduce complex issues to simple drives in such a fashion. I'm not mad, but I'm taking issue with your claim that once someone has reproduced, they have lived a meaningful life, and that the full range of human emotions are simply a means to that end. That's beyond simplistic.
