>>6Yes yes yes, we've already heard every college hipster's rendition of Nietzsche. Let's cut to the chase, looking at things pragmatically.
If you don't work, you don't eat. If you don't eat, you don't shit. If you don't shit, you die.
So what are we left with? I see a spade and I call it a spade, and all the pseudo-intellectuals in the world want to convince me otherwise with long winded twisted convoluted theories, but there it is, a spade.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_call_a_spade_a_spadeAnother thing I have observed, I am sapient, it is logical to conclude all the other homo sapiens like me are sapient as well. So we must work towards the greater good of all sapient life. Yes?
Of course I could think only of myself, like a sociopath. I could also think only of physical pleasure, like a hedonist. But as we can see that gets people nowhere.
What else is there? Let us look at things practically again, a single minded devotion to achieving biological immortality, not for physical pleasure, not necessarily for myself, I can't do this by myself, but I can't save everyone. So there it is, laid out for you. We must create the society I explained earlier.
