Technicolour Dream (Sunny)

Any particular reason you feel it necessary to drag this "argument" out any longer?

"I have no response to the previous argument" There was never a moment in which my intentions were to spark a powder keg. I am not arguing. He displayed his opinion, I replied with my own. No harsh feelings all around. Your reactions are actually surprising to me. Why are you lot so tensed up over this? I'm not trying to piss anyone off, rather I was offering outside input and attempting to persuade him into thinking more about what he said. "Cute" was used to end the tension between us. Clearly it failed. Calm down.

"It only goes to show that I am a fraud" How exactly is that relevant to what I said?

Well, a post like this typically strikes me as attention seeking. Publicly displaying a view like this that scoffs the betterment of humanity and suggests that our shortcomings should not be fixed is an easy way to get a reaction. While there are bits and pieces in this that are self evident, most of it is pure pessimistic riff raff. Seems to me like a sort of diatribe in regards to humanists and for those of us who will display our discontent for the current status of humankind and it's trials. I to be honest, cannot possibly imagine how you came to such a conclusion that humans are naturally nihilistic. I myself practice many of the philosophical aspects of theistic nihilism (or simply put, believe that god and humans are separate without a cause or a reason). Humans are wonderful but flawed. Being flawed gives us something to do with ourselves. We get to fix those flaws and mature. Those of us who refuse to recognize or fix our short comings are outright immature. We are not gods. If we were gods, we too would be perfect and without flaws. I don't want to tackle religion here, but even as someone who is openly agnostic, the idea that we are anything close to any sort of god is rubbish in my opinion.
