What are you the best at?

Sex is swept under the rug by your peoples stupid values.

No offense shroom, but your doing something wrong.

 

An intellectual is a person who has discovered something more interesting than sex.
A. Huxley.

 

Nope, sorry guy, not doing anything wrong.. I just feel that there is more to life then getting laid.. And yes, I enjoy sex but there are other mind blowing ways to be pleasured by and with someone...
Your peoples?

 

Yes, there are a lot of other ways to also enjoy someone elses company aside from sex.

But in the end, sex and procreation are the only things you'll do in your life that will outlast you, and most of the stuff you put value in is probably pretty asinine.

Love and sex are the only things that'll mater from your life 15 years after you've died.

 

Sex and procreation are the only things in YOUR life that will outlast YOU...Not my life my friend...

I don't think the things I value you are asinine either, and if you are willing to share how you can transport yourself into my body and feel and do the things that I do and what I think, please let me know because I'd like to try it..

 

sex will not outlast you.

procreation will, but something you created extending beyond your lifetime doesnt make it more valuable than anything else.

sex drive is a very, very strongly motivating thing, but making more of this wretched and largely dissapointing human population isnt really the most important thing most good people will do.

it may be ONE thing most important or interesting people do....

but the most important thing? nah.

creating life is just everyday business, nothing special to anyone but those involved, the way i see it. babies aren't that special.

the idea of a legacy being important is folly. having kids may be the "most important" thing because its what a particular individual most greatly values....

but its not the "most important" thing you do simply because it extends beyond your lifetime.

by your reasoning, if i were to take a shit and freeze it, and i died before it was thawed out and degraded back into the earth, that shit would be the greatest thing i ever did if it lasted longer than anything else.

if i took a shit and froze it, and then had a kid, and then i died and the kid inhereted my home and a freezer with shit in it, and the kid died before discovering this fact.....

the shit is more important than the kid because it outlasts him?



nah....longevity, time, generations....none of that really matters.

 

hehehe

 

Of course their important to you. But your going to die, and again, procration and the love you can show for your family are the only things that will last.

Your bottlecap collection and your political views are really ephemeral. And many of the things that seem important to you now won't even in 15 years while your still alive.

I don't need to know you. That's universal.

 

yeah.. having a kid dosnt outlast your life, it just starts a new one really. Thats what life is all about, in the primitive level.

Look at hitler. He didnt have a kid and he sure lived past his time.

 

Thats a stupid metaphor.

Yes your own values are inherent to you. What matter to you, will matter to you, obviously. I don't know what's important to you, I'm simply saying that your not all that important. neither am I, and neither is Shroom.

But hopefully in the mean time you can do your best to make the world a better place, enjoy yourself, have some kids and turn them into better people then you are, because those are the only things most people will have to look forward to.

I have no idea about you. Do your own thing.

 

I'm going to die, no fucking way!!?? Really, we die, is this true?! Why hasn't anyone told me this...

I'm not going to sit here and banter back and forth... We just agree to disagree on this I guess... But hey, whatever works for you I guess...

 

Leaving a legacy is pretty overrated too.

 

Sardonicism doesn't emphasise your point. But agreeing to disagree works for me.

 

I can do incredibly complex things when I am stoned as hell. I amaze people.

One time I was asked to do an impromptu speech after doing bong hits for half an hour out in the parking lot before lunch. Over 100 people were there. They loved me.

Also I can remain completely calm when all hell is breaking loose all around me.

I am real thankful for that gift.

 

I'm really not trying to make a point... You just kept mentioning that people die, like people already didn't know that they die...

 

Death tends to put things in perspective, which is why I went back to it. I'm sorry if that wasn't clear.

 

i'll also agree to disagree...works fine for me.....but before i agree to that, i'd like to make a closing statement

i understand having children is the most important thing in the lives of many people, but it can ONLY be because they love them more than anything else, and NEVER because the children will outlast the parent. that is just another type of legacy, and its bullshit.

what you said about having a finite and essentially worthless life (in the viewpoint of all of earth's history) is entirely accurate. you die. your CHILDREN will die. simply because your children may outlast you (die at a later chronological point than you do) does not make them the most important thing in your life.

my analogy wasn't to argue the point that there are more important things than procreation. it was to argue against your stated reasons for procreation being the most important thing you can do: that the offspring will outlast you.

time may be measured, but beyond its immediate implications it is absolutely meaningless. having people come after you is not worthwhile. having descendants is worthless.

having a kid, if you are the right kind of parent, is wonderful because it brings that much more love into your life, into their life, and into the world.

simply having a successor is worthless.

plenty of parents do not love their children, and plenty of children do not love their parents. procreation is ONLY important when unfathomable love is involved, and NEVER because the offspring may live beyond the point in time in which the parent passes away.


but yeah, that was what i meant. i picked the most absurd and stupid analogy in order to make a point about how worthless it is for something to outlast a person, and no other reason

 

That love bond between partners is best represented in my mind by sex, and the love for children is what's important. Not the legacy. I'm not particularly concerned with leaving a legacy.

Just a good looking corpse.

I don't have a thrown to inherit. And yes, like I said, you decide what will be important to you, but unless your sharing your love with the rest of the world (partner, children) what you do will be solitary and pointless.

 

I'm good at not giving a damn and just chilling out. And...GH3...I'm respectable...I pwn most all my friends...and Brawl with Meta Knight, but I'm going to a tournie at my school so that'll be put too the test...

I guess I'm the best at being overconfident. Lawlz. No seriously, I give all my friends the impression that I'm pro at gaming, but I'm mediocre at best. Meh.

 

im really good at being fallen in love with if that makes any sense i just seem to always be that girl

which is a good thing for sure!
