A Message from a Guildie

It's really the same thing. I suppose what you're really trying to rely on is the fact that humans are a lot smarter than dogs.

No I mean that humans and dogs reproduce at a much different rate, their population size to area size ratios are different, as well as living space needed.

God doesn't play dice, and neither will I. There has to be a justification for why others should live in a hardcore survival situation.

And quite frankly, social animals we fail as, if there's only three of us. Especially if we're all males or females.

What do you mean by "playing dice"? These aren't random events... O_o

Also, in capitalism, anyone can rise up to the middle class. That's the justification I have. If they fell, great, they can climb back up.

You seem to be oblivious to incredibly strong feelings. Love is just the tip of the iceberg. Ever wonder what it feels like to be suicidal? You'll get a taste of motivation there; motivation that's stronger than survival instinct. Or how about if you have high degree tantrum RAGE?

The tip of your iceberg is the conscious mind, the other end is your id, where the instinctive motivations are hidden.

Yes, I have at one point felt love and at another point, had suicidal thoughts, another point rage, and I could say all of them are from the id and clouds my thinking. That's why I try to avoid that and try my best to think logically.

This is something you can only truly understand once you experience it.

You're right on this. I have never experienced loving a stranger. So please elaborate on the point since you claim to have loved something or somebody you don't know, which is the equivalent to me, of loving nothing.

Hello? Are we on the same page here? Of course those governments leech people of their property, that's part of what communism and socialism are. We're talking about how society trumps individuals, not the other way around.

Usually society wouldn't back you up if society's people had no obligations to anything (including laws). Other than that, reality contradicts your views. Not saying survival of the fittest is obsolete, but that society plays an even bigger role that you'd imagine... or want.

Of course society trumps individuals. We are obviously not on the same page because I have already mentioned that. I'm saying though that society should not trump individuals and that's where human cognition is regressing it's own species. People back up others who have no intention to return such help.

If the government has to pay hefty wages to have soldiers, they'd better care if you die or not. I'd like to introduce something called army moral. Someone dies in your squad, you'll see the chain reaction of negative emotions, starting with the people who were friends with the dead person (or at least have relations in some way).

I acknowledged that they do care if you die "to some extent" but in reality, they do not care that much. They only care about the living soldiers because that's what they have to work with.

Also, I'm not sure if you were expecting this, but you just further explored why society wins and individuals don't. Long live big government and grandiose schemes!

No offense, but you might as well join socialism if you support such societies being the grand schemes. Being raised in an American environment, I believe that governments should exist to server the people, not the other way around.
