I only seek to convince you and others to think like me. Mines is a philosophy that should objectively maximize your pleasure and minimize your pain, but for some reason, even though I have personally systematically destroyed every dissenting opinion I have ever seen or could come up with over the years, humans just don’t care, and they choose to exhibit inferior behavior. In relation to the thread topic for instance, there is literally, /literally/ no reason at all to take offense at being called an insult or anything, yet humans do anyway, despite the fact that they could easily just construe the emotion they feel upon being exposed to the insult to be pleasurable, even, if that is what they really wanted.
It is not like reason actually matters when it comes to the human, anyway… Look at how many downvotes this thread of mines has gotten… Of the ten downvotes I have currently only a few people have posted in my thread, and I do not even know if any of them have downvoted me. Some even went to my profile to downvote irrelevant posts I feel, as I would see the downvotes just climb in numbers every few seconds. Mate, I don’t even know what I am going on about here but if my proposing an argument as to why you should think like me doesn’t do it, I don’t know what will, and I don’t really care… but if you want to engage me in argument or otherwise just make me tell more of the logic behind my opinions I don’t mind doing so… this website’s reaction to me is very disappointing, though, especially considering that most all users on this site likely identify as “rationalists”.
