/phi/ - Philosophy A board for pretentious debates on epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, metaphysics, and logic.

Apply them to anything: Science, sex, your mom's cooking. No topic is too sacred or profane.
Consider this your haven where being a self-righteous, over-analytical asshole is encouraged.

What isn't allowed:

1. /b/, /x/, or /rnb/. Go spew your unhinged rants elsewhere.
2. Brainless drivel. If you can’t string two coherent thoughts together, take it to Twitter X.
3. Claims without arguments. "Because I say so" or "because you're gay" doesn’t count as reasoning. Repeatedly trolling and bait replies without substance will be banned.

Global rules apply. No, you can’t argue your way out of a ban for being an idiot. Add to the conversation, don't detract from it.

Thomas Malthus's theory posits that competitiveness is an inevitable outcome of the struggle for existence. Why some of us seem to be lacking it? Why some people are just too lazy or too depressed to compete for anything? Sometimes we just want to survive on the bare minimal resources, avoiding effort at all costs.

Compete in what?
People suck. I'd compete if they didn't, but only for fun and games, not to actually destroy or diminish anyone, just to have fun together. Which requires trust and good faith..
I can't really compete with the forest or the sky, I just appreciate them. I don't even know why I would want to, they are cool things that I find beautiful, if I could in any way I'd rather contribute to them, but for the most part that is above my pay grade, I can only observe them from afar and admire.

And I guess it's self-evident from the post, but I'm not a believer in game theory or traditional idea of evolution. I mean I see the logic in it, but I think it's for monkeys not for the thinking man. Socrates embodied it. Who are you competing against let alone who are you posturing for if you are drinking henbaine? Or was it, what was it that he drank - hemlock. I think it just paralyzes your body until you cannot breathe. Really? For posturing? I don't think so. That shit came from the heart. And it's definitely not for survival. And he may not have been the perfect man, but to me, more than just a monkey. Call me racist, I guess I don't give that much of a fuck about the human race. Let the niggers populate it and reap what they sow.
