hey who is this?
alacritas, duh!!!
let;s have a long conversation heyyy
I can talk for about 20 minutes
how's it going my man you seem like a cool little chap
My man, DID YOU JUST ASSUME MY gender !!!!! you seem like a chill gal
um yes I did thanks boy
Want to go on a date, since you're a gal and I'm a guy I would work fine We could hike Timpanogas Or we could go to the Creamery And get ice cream
lets not do that
But not my favorite (since they don't have lavendar)
Because I'm definitely a dude
Fine then, what should our date be?
that's awlward
Yeah, but we don't know for sure yet if I'm male or female I never said it outright But let's be clear; I am a guy
yeah I am pretty sure you are a male yeah that's what I though
Have you talked to a girl on here There don't seem to be too many Unless I'm mistaken You see, the only really big chat I had was on the first day
So lets get down to the nitty gritty no i havent at all
What's the nitty gritty
What is your major? I am a philosophy major
Like do you want to talk ish about all your professors and how much homework they give you? But, yeah I'm a physics major. And you? If I had to take a guess, I would say economics Am I wrong? I bet I'm wrong
I am a philosophy major
Philosophy, dude that's insane
What do you think truth is? I've heard many different things
I bet the vibe of a philosophy major here at BYU is different becuase of ... um ... less weed. But honestly what do you do?
I write essays all day. Honestly, its pretty boring I might switch to something more useful like engineering
I went on a tour of a Liberal Arts school near where I lived (Reed college) and I imagined it would be like that. Except they were more in an urban center and their profs seemed to be more chill and open I can't imagine what writting essays all day would be like I hate essays Like absolutly hate them. How's the reading you do? Must be pretty boring as well?
I think that the main problem with our society today is that there are not enough peopl ewilling to sacrifice the greater good of society for their own needs and wants do you I think we need to teach people how to sacrifice
Well then, you stray into communism there if you want the government to mandate that sacrifice.
It's important that people realize sometimes society will need to suffer and make their own life be\tter it's reallreally people need to realize in the end that society isn't perfect and therefor they also will not be perfect
And that didn't do too well in Russia and Argentina. North Korea isn't doing too well, but Vietnam and China are functioning, although you get major wealth differences there.
luckily for us I am pretty close to perfect so ut's all good for society
Ha, just sacrifice yourself now Oh wait, I made you Jesus
yeah those major wealth differenes sure can be a struggle aren't htey
Shooooooooot We can
that's way too trippy
't have the plot of "Dune" all over
Jesus is literally the person who we are talking about right now yeah that's just so trippy isn't it
Alright, but how can we convince people to be altruistic
Lets talk abpout albert banduras bobo doll experiment
What's that And I'll just type random stuff while you explain it.
what do you think about how people aquire violence due to what they see on television and learn from other people
I feel like the only way to be more altruistic is to convince people more of their duty; very similiar to what happens in tribes
I think that people are often violent because they see that it is okay to be societally violent through the games that we train kids on starting at a very young age oh the tribal concept is very intriguing I think that the problem with a tribal system is that there is a lack of central contriok
I don't think violence on television is too bad. Do I see people doing wild police chases like in shows: no.
We need people to guide us because peopl earea often imperfect
Honestly the worst thing is when violence happens to you like childhood abuse That stuff is brutal
That's also part of God's plan, having people to guide and teach us the ways of life yea that is true
Way too many people I knew went through that stuff
oh that's unfortunate isn't is That's the most terribl ething of all When innocent children have to suffer It's awful
But also, people also learn behaviors of how to act in a family from their potentially abusive parents which they will then do on their own children
yeah so it's like a pattern of hate and abbuse. Yet at the saem time it's not really the second generations fault becauser they are just doing what they have learned from the generation before them
And sexual abuse can also cripple people for years and even then, they might not fully recover from the physchological trauma and do basic stuff like learn how to trust again.
