Rick though Morty was sad and worried that Jerry was gonna kill himself, Morty not only terribly disfigured that teen boy for the sake of a revenge, he actually manipulated Rick by faking sadness only to avoid going to an adventure with him and make him go away and fuck off for a while.
Morty has no problem faking emotions in order to get what he wants, remember this.

Yes! I'm sure that he 100% believes that, even though he was very close to killing himself because he was in love with a omnipotent planet slut. Haha!

love is just an abstract concept people made up so they feel less shallow about fucking people based almost entirely on physical appearances and losing an interest in them when those looks fade.

I think Morty ("The Good Morty") is going to be similar to Eyepatch Morty with one major difference

he'll be manipulative, understand Rick's shit, and not put up with all his shenanigans like other Morty's will.

However he will always care about his family and probably Rick himself (even if he gets him to fuck off for awhile to get some peace for himself).

I liked how he told Beth off that sucking Rick's dick isn't going to keep him around but just push everyone else away

>>
>all these people REEEEing out because they think le science granddad said their feefees aren't real

Rick didn't say love wasn't real. He didn't even say that it was completely pointless or that its being a chemical reaction made it somehow inferior to the various other chemical reactions that form out universe. His sole point was that placing any kind of special, spiritual importance on love was silly and short-sighted because it is ultimately a chemical reaction intended to aid the breeding process and will, therefore, fade over time. His recommendation was to instead focus on science, or the study of the universe, as a pursuit which has more permanent value.

That's it.

>>

Yeah, a lot of human consciousness is trying to make sense of all the crazy shit happening around us. Why does it only become a point of contention when someone denounces love or god or anything else which makes people feel like there's some inherent purpose to the universe? Why are people so defensive of the idea of their lives having an objective value and purpose that must be rigorously adhered to?
>>

Rick was specifically referring to romantic, non-familial love which is pointedly more transitory and fleeting.
>>
>>94818384
Who knew that JUST could have so much power?
>>
>>94818770
He's the miserable, misanthropic alcoholic whose contributions have made a sizeable impact on the world around him. It wasn't a question of happiness but, rather, permanence.

He's a hypocrite and his argument probably had something to do with his past romantic experiences, but his point was entirely sound and misunderstood by angry /co/ posters.
>>

So is cynicism
>>
>>94818800
He's had a wholly destructive impact, as is the consequence of such a cynical mode of thinking entails.

If Rick really wanted to he could have a hugely positive impact. He's the smartest man in the galaxy, he could be a trillionaire selling his technology, enriching everyone around him. But we saw with his curse-purge store that he doesn't value his accomplishments beyond just to dick with someone.

New-newfag! We're in the middle of a meeting!
>>
>>94818857
He made an impact nonetheless. Rick's character isn't what's being called into question here. His point was that love isn't this unassailable perfect thing which needs to be treated with sanctity -- it's just a chemical reaction like everything else and it will eventually fade. What about this is incorrect?
>>
After last episode I think Rick legitimately likes/loves Morty Not in the fujo way you fucking faggots.

People always bring up that Rick abandoned all his family that other dimension but that really doesn't he doesn't love Morty and /only/ Morty. Think about it, Jerry is a pathetic fuck, Summer is a disposable teenager and in his eyes, Beth is a selfish cunt that ditched Rick himself for Jerry (considering it has been implied Rick's wife died sometime in the past that probably hurt him). And aside from them there's no one else but Morty.

I think Rick sees in him everything to make him essentially irreplaceable, he's his son, companion, prodigy, friend and even lab-rat for experiments. Ricks are probably very attached to their Morties. They probably can't ditch them just like that.
>>
>>94818864
That's not what I said, but you clearly have some troubles extricating your personal feelings and need to be right from the argument, so whatever.

>>94818890
Rick's sincere love for his grandchildren and possibly even Beth has never really been in question. The main problem is that he fears his emotions and the control they have over him at the best of times and so he hides from them behind a veil of cynicism, snarky remarks and a loner rhetoric.

Came here to say this.

The value of a thing is not determined by its composition. Whenever people say that love is just chemicals or music is just sound I must wonder what they THOUGHT these things would be made of.

Rest assured the mind that says such things would still say them if it turned out love was made of pixies.
>>
>>94818883
So is the rest of the physical universe, so what is your point again?
>>
>>94818883
The cunning part is that Rick isn't wrong in the exact wording of what he said. He said at the end you should focus on science, as it a more satisfactory life, like you said. But that part is totally wrong as I pointed out.
>>
love is a verb
>>
>>94818946
His point, as I've already pointed out to you, is that there's nothing in the universe that has a special, spiritual level of importance and that Morty should invest his time in the more meaningful pursuit of science since it has a greater level of permanence than plunging bodily into base instincts.
>>
>>94818918
>andchildren and possibly even Beth
I don't know about that, Rick seems to like Summer sometimes but not as much as Rick, I think it's because Summer is more independent, he probably is so selfish that would rather have person that can be with him at all times (Morty) rather than to share them with others.

As for Beth I don't think he loves her, instead I feel he just uses her because she has the house full of his shit, he never showed signs about caring about her, really.
>>
>>94818975
He didn't really say that it would lead to a more satisfactory life, just that it had more meaning than love in the grand scheme of things which, again, isn't wrong.

>>
>>94819028
It is wrong because, like I said, Rick embodies this idea and he's not leading a meaningful life. He's leading a hedonistic, self destructive life that destroys everything around him. Oh sure, he's got a great understanding of the universe. That he doesn't share. Or use to help anyone other than himself.

The thing is, he could be leading a meaningful life, but he'd have to ditch his cynicism.
>>
>>94819021
In the most recent episode he expresses a kind of outrage towards Jerry for marrying Beth, claiming that she "had options" and could have done much better for herself. Plus you have the Pickle Rick episode where he makes an effort to connect with her after therapy. The main issue is that Rick is used to looking out solely for himself and hardened by both a lifetime of loss and his knowledge of just how insignificant everything is. Sure, he's desensitized and sure he's even callous towards his family at times, but I believe that e does harbour a love for them which he has trouble coming to terms with. Hell, I think he even likes Jerry to an extent, if this episode was any indication.

I agree that Morty bears the brunt of his affection, though.

He himself isn't leading a meaningful life, but science as a field of study is highly meaningful. Rick's hypocrisy isn't relevant, his point was that science is more permanent and meaningful than love and he really isn't wrong about that in a general sense.

Now that I think about it, I think this might be why he hates the Council of Ricks so much. They show him a reflection of what he could accomplish if he gave a damn about anyone other than himself. These guys built a gigantic transdimensional civilization.

Rick hates that because it show that he himself is a failure by comparison, and thus is wrong in his thinking on life. So rather than try to fix himself, he tears down an image of a better life.
>>
>>94819149
That's a pretty shallow way of looking at things, especially in a storytelling format in which you have multiple writers working on a single setting. Just because Rick is shown to be a hypocrite and wrong in many ways does not mean he was wrong in that particular instance. For all you know, that could have been the writer slipping a single kernel of truth into the work using Rick as a mouthpiece. You assume too much. As a simple argument removed from Rick's character, saying science is more important and impactful than love is completely accurate and a worldview which should be supported by anyone who isn't a teenage girl.

He didn't say everything is meaningless, just that nothing is super special and most things aren't inherently important. Science is one of the few things which does have an objective meaning and importance and his suggestion was that Morty invest his energy in that instead of chasing around some pretty girl because of a chemical reaction influencing him in the current moment.

Romantic love is garbage. It's what drives people like Rick to believe as they do. Its temporary and fleeting. You found someone who makes you happy, and you want only for their happiness. But as time wears on, and as the flaws and blemishes and bad habits begin to surface, romantic love fades away. With every white spot in the bathroom mirror, every argument over money, every expression of affection that goes ignored or does not hit its mark, what everyone glorifies as "love"erodes like fine sand.

What both the starstruck lover and the bitter pseudo-intellectual fail to realize though is that what you feel when "falling in love" is not simply confined to those first two or three years. The guitars, the kisses under the moonlight - all those are well and good, but they are mere icing. The real "cake" of love goes much deeper than schmaltzy romance kitsch. It comes from an understanding of how the one you care about receives your love. What makes them feel loved? What assures them that you want for their happiness? One person may feel no love from touching, but when their partner does service for them: the one who loves them is willing to break sweat and sacrifice time, and that means a lot to them. Another may feel nothing about having chores done for them, yet when you touch them, they melt - not just out of some sexual thrill (though that certainly does not disqualify the feeling of love as long as it's not on its own), but because they feel your need to be close to them. Each person feels loved for a different reason. True love comes when you know what makes your partner happy, and when you're willing to give them that every day.

And so what if it's "just a chemical?" Diamonds are just lumps of carbon, but that doesn't make them any less beautiful.

To bring everyone else down to his level. It's why he destroys everything he touches, its why everyone around him grows more miserable by the day.

It's definitely too late for me. I'm too disillusioned with romantic relationships, women and, most importantly, myself by this point. I'm pretty sure I've lost the capacity to feel that kind of love, as if I grew out of being able to delude myself into thinking any relationship is special and meaningful. If you go long enough giving out affection and getting nothing back in return, it seems inevitable that the well of human emotion inside of you will eventually run dry and you simply won't have what it takes to become invested in people the same way again.

But why follow a process that inevitably ends in disillusionment? Love is based almost entirely in a selfish desire to be completely at peace with another person who gives you a sense of social and emotional validation, and so it becomes inevitable that any romantic relationship ends in love fading as both parties come to grips with the fact that their significant other does not measure up to this ideal image of a partner they constructed in their own minds.

I understand the pain but if you're completely unable to find someone to tolerate your presence i think you need to look inward at yourself.

okay I guess

Like I said, neither of us are special in that regard.

I too have felt rejection at every turn, and not just with affection but with friendship in general. Sounds like that's where you are right now. Yes, it is true that we should seek to improve and that it can be hard at times, and yes, it is true that not everyone is obligated to like us. We all have our quirks and idiosyncrasies, and some will be bothered more about them than others. Sometimes, it feels like we will never be happy, that other people will always see you as a nuisance or something to avoid. The world is often cruel.

maybe I'm projecting just a little as I list off those troubles, but the end product, regardless of process, is often the same: a miserable person who has felt nothing but pain, and thinks that, no matter what they do or try, that is all they will ever feel. Rejection and pain.

It simply isn't true.
Take a chance.

It is often said that there is no comfort in the growth zone and no growth in the comfort zone, and when you're perpetually miserable, that misery, in a twisted way, becomes your comfort zone. I'm not asking you to magically turn your sad switch off. There is no such thing. Such a request would be presumptuous and apathetic. What I am asking you to do is to try. Be kind to those who have felt nothing but cruelty. Sit by someone who you know is lonely. No, it won't be a magical cure-all: Some people will see your outstretched hand as another attempted slap. Sometimes, people are just snobby, rather than lonely. That's okay. The good - those who appreciate your kindness, will make the bad worth it.

I've learned that sometimes, the best way to relieve emotional fatigue is to help someone who's even more tired.

You're right. You know what would fix his attitude?

I already know why girls have no interest in me and I don't blame them, but if I were to start making steps towards getting girls to like me I would be living a lie for the sake of validating my own worth through someone else and I'm more comfortable just being alone than doing that.

>>94818288
That's fucking retarded, people first felt it and then they put a name on it. And it's not just about fucking, you can feel love for your family, friends, a pet, etc.
Are you gonna deny sorrow is real as well?

Your definition of love seems vastly different from mine. My definition of love can apply to anyone, romantic or not, even love towards something immaterial, like nature or art. So long as you have a passion and a willingness to know more about something, in a way, you love it dearly.

Love can fade, but there are plenty of instances of two people's love outliving even them.

Your definition of love sounds more like a misrepresentation of what my definition of love really is. I agree that the common romantic image of love, that is, love being a state of bliss that relies entirely on holding onto the ideal image of another person, can only end in tragedy when we realize that nothing is permanent. But this is not the only form of love that can exist.

In my opinion, the most pure form of love is not at all romantic love. That's probably the ugliest instance that you can call love. The most pure form of love comes from very long friendships, where neither party expects anything from each other and yet they are willing to give everything to each other. That's what real love is.

If anything over examination of self is what leads to it. the fundamental misunderstanding of life not being a series of gauges that will gradually run empty and dreading the day. For some things like physical strength and mental acumen it is true but for something like love there's no reason why there would be diminished ability for it.

Please tell us about the r9k experience. That seems like the LAST place I'd expect someone to find a relationship.

>>94820083
I don't know, anon. I don't feel passionate about anything anymore. It's like a part of my brain has shut down.

>>94820120
You don't have to become someone else. You are who you are, and you shouldn't change that, but don't settle at "it's just who I am."

Yes, it's who you are, but it's not the best "you" you can be.

That's what depression will do to you
Misery is a nasty trap. It grabs hold of you with iron teeth while telling you that everywhere else, iron teeth will grip and hurt you. Don't listen to it.

Im not saying strive for a girlfriend and I'd prefer people be happy with themselves than try to fill the hole with other people. Good on you laddie.

/r9k/ is basically normie central to an extent nowadays. Rather, its basically /soc/ for the autism spectrum mixed with shitposting memes.
Its still ongoing and we're four months in, and shes a half-turk muslim thats unfortunately underaged but a senior in highschool which puts a damper on things but its the midwest
We're doing great thus far but im going on 23 and have BPD so its got all the signs of a rocky but rewarding road ahead.

You would be living a lie if you told yourself that the you now was the best possible you that you could have made in this life.

The answer is always no.

The thing is, you don't have to start making steps towards getting girls to like you. You just have to make steps towards getting you to like you. The girls will come in time.

There is absolutely nothing hypocritical about accepting that love is the result of complex chemical reactions which we should aspire to rise above from and at the same time feeling heartbroken over no gf.

I don't see really anything of myself that anyone could love romantically and my love for family and what few friends I have and the love they have for me is just an exaggeration of social behaviors inherent in the human species. There's no difference between a bear raising its children and a human parent raising its children. Just cause the human can articulate some abstract concepts doesn't eliminate that at the core it's just behavior. There's no shame in being subject to the wills of biological imperatives though, as we are little more than biology. I'm not some edgelord who pretends that its shameful to love or that humans should be above emotions due to "they're just chemicals man."

The love for my waifu though is something that science cannot explain. She's proof that there is a mystic immaterial aspect to the universe.

I think it's necessary to a well-lived life, but so is freedom from the prescribed notions of love. It is not important to have a girlfriend and get married, for instance, but is important to love.
