    The crux of your argument is a straw man. :)

    I submit that these ideas are only valued and propagated because they are, simply and harshly put, beneficial for the community, or in your words, 'useful for an evolved human being'.
    What I meant by 'product of our evolutionary heritage' is that our sense of right and wrong (morality) is simply a by-product or extension of our survival instinct. Its the social glue that enables us to cooperate which, in turn, helps us to live longer and leave more descendants.

    ^ And that's just perpetuation of species. Our actual reason is to achieve infinite conscientiousness.

    Big Bang was/is a decision between the chaos of existence and the ultimate order of nothingness. Love is that which confirmed the wisdom of that decision.

    Oh, this was a clever. I got a nice chuckle from that.

    Take notice utopia, no pouting or crying for the rest of the year....
    "having fun warring when you have whoring and number 1 as a goal is totally pointless..." - Korp
    "while I heart shiester when we both play serious and are in the same kingdom, I hate shiester on the forums and pretty much disagree with everything he says. Even he knows this." - Flogger asking me out on a date

    The devs have made a decision to kill competitive utopia and have thereby killed my interest with it.

    I always found it humorous that being good so Santa will be bring you presents is quite contrary to being good for goodness sake.


    Carry on with Plato vs Aristotle.

    Precisely. Love is practical magic.
