12:31 lets get really drunk in the middle of the day for no reason
demonboy1652
12:32 thats paradoxical
12:32 drinking to get drunk is drinking for a purpose
BG
12:33 but we won't be drinking to get drunk
12:33 kind of like the side effects to prescription medicine
demonboy1652
12:33 ah
12:34 see, i will be be drinking to get drunk
12:34 hey yknow how your muse is TV?
12:34 mine is my reef tank, and last night i smoked that shit amanda gave me (by the way, its daaaaank), and found the meaning of life in it
BG
12:35 which is?
demonboy1652
12:35 finding purpose
12:35 it makes sense in an odd way
12:35 the purpose of living is to find a reason to live
BG
12:36 makes sense
12:36 Where the means are infinitely more important than the end result
demonboy1652
12:37 truth
12:37 everyone comes to a different and unique final summation
12:37 therefore, life is chaos in a certain sense
BG
12:38 who says that a final summation is necessary?
12:38 The problem with that philosophy is its intrinsicly hedonistic approach to life
12:39 To say that people constantly search for purpose, while completely true, forces a massive emphasis on the individual
12:39 meaning that everyone must take it upon themselves to find their own unique purpose, their own unbeaten path to prowl
12:41 Which also means that social mores and folkways that have been refined with the development of culture must be ignored and disregarded so that all paths are open to the individual
12:41 What happens if someones unique path involves child molestation?
12:41 Or murder?
demonboy1652
12:42 thats their path
BG
12:42 Promiscuity, lust, greed, gluttony, envy, every sin imaginable would be open to the world
12:42 exactly
12:42 their own individual path
demonboy1652
12:42 stating the obvious, but if all pathways must be optioned then anything goes
BG
12:43 And while I think I could perfectly function without being led by society, most people can't deal without routine, without guidelines to live their life by
12:43 hence Religion
demonboy1652
12:44 hence a lot of things
12:44 but i think you do need routine
12:44 i think you need your own routine
12:45 given its by your own design, but i think you do have ingrained routines that youd be disoriented without
BG
12:45 I do to, I think routine is important, but it needs to be your own
12:45 exactly, a routine of your own making
demonboy1652
12:45 for instance; your sleep patterns, your drugging, etc
BG
12:45 good example
demonboy1652
12:45 exactly
BG
12:46 the problem is that society, in order to function, forces the individual to behave in accordance with other members of that society
demonboy1652
12:46 conflicting life paths + arrogance
12:47 = conflict, among other things
BG
12:49 the problem lies in the unique aspects of the individula
12:50 society cannot function if all aspects of the individual are allowed
demonboy1652
12:50 people as a whole seek tribal relationships, but no one can fully accept someone who is different
12:51 in the sense that no "tribe" could ever be what any individual wants and needs it to be
BG
12:58 exactly, the human being, a social creature, is forced to both understand himself as an individual, where he will eventually realize his intrinsic uniqueness, but also forced to seek out others, knowing full well than any group situation will be a rought fit, if a fit at all
demonboy1652
1:01 yeah
BG
1:02 on a less intelligent subject
1:02 we need drugs
