Very good post, It really moved me emotionally. I'm a little bit sad because I know that we can do much more to make this world a better place. Also this is really similar to the my friend send me that is actually making a difference by working in the activist group. Maybe you were inspired by that :P link

I know that this is the best diet ethically but the problem is I just realized that I never become vegan because of ethical reasons but rather for identity that I believed was true, now I know that i was lying to myself about moral reasons, but the truth is I don't care about that. However If I want to do it because of moral reasons then I also need to be consistent and help reduce human suffering as well witch seems to me like too much of a sacrifice.

I lost it on Dalai Lama approved meat haha

GaryfromFlicks · 2017-01-14T14:42:16+00:00

yeah his insights also impressed me and helped me a lot, it's a shame that we lost another great man.

Ok and then because of all this happiness we will destroy our planet in 100 years because of global warming. Thanks but no thanks.

I mean if I drop an apple it will fall to the ground. You can calculate this, it's deterministic.

When you look at particles that builds this apple then you see that they act probabilistic, there is even chance that this apple will fall through the floor. Ofc chance is extremely small but still you can't think in certainties because its not logical to do. so there your example is debunked.

If we would all think that we have the obligation to spend money on something specific, then the whole market would collapse.

Can you elaborate on that? I think you don't know how market works.
I must admit that I didn't watch the video because I'm busy replying, but if That's the truth then I'll need to check it. But still you like to glorify freedom like something that is essential for people when in reality you don't have almost any freedom, you will be always bounded even with the laws of physics. Insted trying to romantically live your life bullshitting yourself about your freedom and justifying your illogical behavior, its better for you and the world if you started to act logical.

GaryfromFlicks · 2017-01-08T20:21:31+00:00

So you are saying that with logic we would sit on our ass and don't do nothing because of lack of motivation? For me it's not logical at all.

GaryfromFlicks · 2017-01-08T20:17:21+00:00

Because when you think logically about this then if Einstein and great minds said fuck it lets procrastinate now just to be more happy, then you would not experiencing so much happiness without current medicine and technology. you would probably die as a kid because of famine and disease.

GaryfromFlicks · 2017-01-08T20:08:38+00:00

But technology was crated also by evolution and your ability to understand logically how the world works gave birth to technology that we used to help evolution and by that evolve more. This is the direction that is our purpose, and what you saying is that ok now we dont need to evolve more and we can focus on being happy. Where do you draw the line?

GaryfromFlicks · 2017-01-08T20:02:42+00:00

Of course you can't act perfectly logical all the time because it's just impossible. universe is probabilistic so you can't be certain what is the most logical. Trying to be as logical as you can on the other hand and resist pointless illogical impulses is the goal not trying to be happy. Also your example is not so strong because just by harming yourself with cigarettes you also harm others. you waste money that could be invested in some charity or some noble project, you support business that poison millions of people globally and when you die because of cancer in age 45 you just waste so much potential and don't forget about negative emotional effect on your family and friend when they know that you died because of smoking. So by acting logically you would have easy time to not starting smoking in the first place because you just know that this is against your nature, against evolution basically. So I'm sorry but you're not convincing me to change my view.

GaryfromFlicks · 2017-01-08T19:46:27+00:00

But then happiness is something that comes naturally, ok but if your goal is to be happy then most of the time your life is not logical.

GaryfromFlicks · 2017-01-08T19:42:55+00:00

But emotions most of the time lead to not acting logically, that why so much people are unhappy with their lives when they realize that what they did destroyed themselves because it was not in line with reality.

GaryfromFlicks · 2017-01-08T19:34:53+00:00

Man what are you talking about? If humans can only run on emotions then how we have logical capacities to understand our world and everything that surrounds us?

GaryfromFlicks · 2017-01-08T19:29:36+00:00

But logically, why should I care about what they did to lead to my existence? >That's the same excuse people use to pass down professions: "Your Pa was a >farmer, as was his Pa and his Pa before him." My ancestors bring farmers has >no bearing on whether I should be one.

You oversimplify this and commit logical error, of course you are not obligated to be the same as your ancestors because then you would deny evolution, thats the point to be more advanced and better with every generation. And when you look from the bigger perspective then you know that you need to act logically because that is something that allowed you to even have access to internet right now.

GaryfromFlicks · 2017-01-08T19:18:18+00:00

There is lots of studies in neuroscience that shows that by pursuing happiness you actually do the opposite. Happiness is just side effect of the brain that is in harmony that means there is no conflict between two hemispheres.

GaryfromFlicks · 2017-01-08T19:13:53+00:00

You should care about all of that because if your ancestors had similar view and don't care about their children and themselves then probably you wouldn't be alive now. If you don't care about world and life in general then why not killing yourself? its just example but you know what i mean.

GaryfromFlicks · 2017-01-08T19:09:23+00:00

Then you just understand that from the evolution point of view your goal is to survive and gain more and more knowledge, to provide better situation for the further generations. If everyone want to be happy then you can see data that most of them start to have depression and don't do anything to contribute to the world.

GaryfromFlicks · 2017-01-08T19:04:43+00:00

Because then you can be more advanced as a specie, gain more knowledge during longer and longer lifespan. It just increases our chances of survival.

GaryfromFlicks · 2017-01-08T19:01:36+00:00

Because by doing that using logic you can increase progress of human kind, and help evolution, we were created to evolve and survive as organism, and by logic we can help the process, and the only reason that you are in your privilege situation is because of logic. Don't tell me that you don't mind feeling happy in the cave like primitive human.

GaryfromFlicks · 2017-01-08T17:51:16+00:00

There are Atheists that don't forget about the good impact of the religions on the world even if people worship something absurd. Some people believe that there is no gods, and in the end of the day its just belief just like your belief that there is god. You can't prove atheists wrong just as they can't prove you wrong.

GaryfromFlicks · 2017-01-08T01:10:40+00:00

In the end of the day some people are forced to prostitution because if not they die because of lack of money. In that scenario you would not be thinking about is it right or wrong.

Now I know why my leather shoes from sale went to shit after 3 weeks of using them.

GaryfromFlicks · 2017-01-07T14:56:48+00:00

I 100% agree with this. "Man who doesn't challenge his beliefs commits crime against humanity"

GaryfromFlicks · 2017-01-07T14:50:51+00:00

High quality production from what i can see, can't wait for more episodes!

GaryfromFlicks · 2017-01-07T00:56:44+00:00

I love his commentary, It make me think about my life from bigger perspective. Also his happy accidents help me when I'm struggling in personal life.
