damn, he is just like me
this show is a 10/10

All things that live die, man is the only one that worries about what comes after.

Didn't change my life at all but I heard it the other day and I thought "Yeah that's good"

what other reason would there be to be decent

Name one non-selfish reason to be good that's not for divine reward. If it's not for sake of the social contract, which is by definition a reward, then please tell me why would anyone bother to do it. So something like religion comes along and gives people additional reasons to be good and you object?

>>84372464
Pretty immature quote. If you believe there is nothing more to life than sensory experience then the very idea of morality becomes obsolete. Being a "piece of shit" shouldn't bother you - there is only how much pleasure you can squeeze out of life.

>>84373233
rust is clinically depressed and understands the basic tenets of nihlism/existentialism but rejects the common answers to it like an objective morality from god, 'making your own happiness' etc

he wants there to be more but understands everything 'more' is a spook and doesn't get over it until the end of the show. so it makes sense why he would say something like that.

Well, I'm sure glad people can have their ideologies. Be able to follow their own way to live or already established ones.

Whatever makes a person decent as long as it doesn't emotionally or physically harm others should be alright.

Seeing how Rust turned out at the end really puts in to perspective all the bullshit he spouted to himself was just to cope with losing his daughter and becoming a nihilistic fedora.

Rust was atheist by the time we got to see him in TD. If he was a god botherer beforehand I'd imagine it was losing his little girl that caused the loss of whatever faith he had. He wasn't 'angry at god', just angry over his loss, and probably sick and tired of all the "she's in a better place now" and other such simpering platitudes. You can't get angry at nothing.

>a nihilistic fedora.
And there we go. What a surprise.

Every time we've seen these religion/atheism argument threads here on /tv/ (and 4chan in general) in the last decade or so they've always ended up with the pro-religious posters running around in circles chasing their own tails while the rest of us look on in bemusement. They never get past the circular logic arising from their own position, convinced that it's unassailable, and just start throwing out the same derogatory phrases over and over.

You're not convincing anyway here. Certainly not converting anyone. Why do you keep bringing this shit up at all?

Proselytisation via opening discussions on internet forums is pretty dumb given that it's where the smrtr types tend to hang out (even here on /tv/, yup). Suggest you stick to the less involved social media sites like twitter, facebook and tumblr where you could probably have a modicum of success on the atypical religious targets: the dumbasses.

You desire a nice experience, other players around you too. By instinct, you constantly put yourself in the shoes of other people. You wouldn't like an autist screaming in the bus, so you don't scream in the bus. Being decent helps to provide others a pleasent experience, plus you recieve social approval.

Because being a bad person is destructive. Deception is destructive. It has destructive consequences if you're found out. People will begrudge you if you profit at their expense. It creates an unhealthy atmosphere in a community, one that can lead to violence or widespread discontent. What's bad for the goose is bad for the gander.

If you can't feel any empathy or sympathy for your fellow man, it's likely that you have some sort of mental illness, as well as being bland and uninteresting.

Your mind and emotions is one of the few things, if not the only thing, that you can actually learn to control through consistent effort through several years. Being "decent" actually means being in control of yourself, bringing order to your mind. It's easy to just "relax man let it go" etc., so when someone shows control over themselved in any way, people naturally respect that, and people who understand this exercise control over themselves in many areas daily, with no reward other than conducting yourself how you want to.

You always act decent for a reward. American morality is based upon the Golden rule. The reason you follow the Golden Rule is so that everyone else also follows it, thus your reward is a decent society whose members treat each other nicely. Everyone creates that reward with each other.
You would not act decently if you had no guarantee (or relative mutual understanding) that everyone else would do approximately the same.

Observe these men. They stick to a lite version of christian morality without the belief in the base of the value system. They stick to it due to peer pressure in a still functioning society - they're afraid of repercussions so they stay in line - and make half-baked justifications to explain their beliefs.

Do you niggers even know what your base values are? If you really go down to it, I bet it's just "don't make a fuss so people don't come after me".

It has nothing to do with a trend. As long as people have the freedom to do so they'll shit on religion because it's fucking hilarious and absurd.

Shitting on that is the most natural thing in the world for someone with a logical mind, there's nothing "trendy" about it.

> It's easy to just "relax man let it go" etc., so when someone shows control over themselved in any way, people naturally respect that

It's not easy and people actually respect relaxed people, they usually find them charismatic. It has something to do with relaxed = not afraid all the time/has life in order = high value/status.

But in general there is no need for control, just follow what feels good, it's how you find out your basic values anyway. And not what you think feels good, what actually feels good for you, so first a person has to have a deep connection with their own body. Without that people quickly jump to "BUT WHAT IF IT FEELS GOOD FOR ME TO KILL AND STEAL, HUH, WHAT NOW???". Yes, there is a chance of that, but in general people find that helping others, curious, honesty and truth feel good. It also helps to realize that most of material things are toys and keeping your integrity feels better than betraying others for large sums of money.

>>84376777
My base values are derived from the fact that the only discernable purpose of a life form is to survive, reproduce and ensure the survival of its genetic material into perpetuity. From this the rest is derived - and before you retards shout about edgy social darwinist or whatever, pro-social behaviour is evolutionarily advsntageous.

What helps massively in this case is that most systems of morality are for the most part already established with this as the goal, since morals are just as much subject to natural selection as anything else. Systems that hinder their adherents' ability to survive and compete simply get replaced by others that give an advantage - which is how highly dogmatic, seemingly backwards religions are so successful. These religions provide a hard, easy to understand foundation for a value system that is often custom tailored for group success. So really, the Christians of old are mostly right about these things, but for the wrong reasons.
>>84376967
Yes and no. This is a really complicated topic, but what it boils down to is that some behaviours in a moral system are memetic, while others are genetic. There is a natural tendency to form bonds with people and natural reluctance to just up and murder a family member in most humans. But there is no natural tendency to be monogamous, to show mercy to enemies, to put some ideal or wider social group above immediate genetic kin.

All the posts I was replying to were citing some made up bullshit that is basically the result of atheists trying to justify the fact that they still mostly stick to the values of the religion they rejected. You can't cite bullshit as "minimizing suffering" and such, because you are not actually following it. If you truly had a base value of minimizing suffering, you'd want to hook everyone up to some drugs and vr, and probably just kill them in a painless way. The reason you don't do it is because you actually follow different, external morals.

>>84376920
ah, the atheist's latent hatred of the poor.

>>84377301
This is fine and dandy but the original question the cited posts were replying to was "what other reason would there be to be decent". People replied "empathy", "provice nice experience for others" and "social approval". This lines up with your selfish gene worldview. Empathy, social approval and providing a nice experience for others helps you to survive, reproduce, and ensure survival of offspring, which can also be viewed as "christianity lite" since it's the same bullshit at the core but without the extra stuff.

Following your logic, one could also say that if your values truly are to survive and reproduce, you would be raping random chicks on the street to maximize offspring.

tl;dr you are an edgy 20 something that read something about dawkings one time while high and cherry picked whatever worked for you

>>84374488
>>84373390
Yes, but being nice offers less mundane rewards because there is less risk. It is more a reward for your soul. If you are rewarding your soul through your actions, then you are a honorable person. Also even the Vatican decided you can get into heaven just acting good because of the reward. Meaning that even they consider a good action good no matter the reason. Just because you operate under a reward system does not mean that your actions are dishonorable. Less honorable than acting purely out of kindness? Sure, but still not dishonorable. Kinda how Socrates said, "that which is neither good nor evil" acting purely for rewards will give you that kind of existence.

Life moves pretty fast, if you dont stop and take a look around you might just miss it.

Not really. Believe it or not, your genes are carried many many times over by members of your ethnic group. Anti social behaviour like that actually hinders the group as a whole, while the benefits of going on a rape spree like that are washed out completely within a couple of generations.

I mean for fuck's sake, I already said that. My point is that citing "minimizing suffering" or whatnot is a bullshit reason. When those faggots cite that as their reason, they're being full of shit and the actual reason is that groups enforce behaviours that benefit the group, and individuals follow group enforced behaviours in order to thrive within it.
>tl;dr you are an edgy 20 something that read something about dawkings one time while high and cherry picked whatever worked for you

This is actually quite true, but there's no way for humans to expand past are limits without the idea of reaching some sort of eternal bliss. The present state of your social, economic, personal, or even physical self does not matter when the future can be better than you can imagine.
This isn't to say that the idea of the perfect future can sustain itself, whatever your present is has to be content enough with you and you discontent with it for the path to open.

It's one of the best subtleties of the show that during that scene the preacher is actually laying out the entire message of the show and the lesson that it would take Marty twenty more years to learn.

This is pretty fucking ironic considering
everyone that thinks the works of today are degenerate would consider the movies of hitler's time to be of a 'golden era' when he was talking about the movies he knew.

Also Hitler was a fan of cowboy movies and they're all boring as shit

He has a near death experience and realizes that the illusion of consciousness isn't a bad, meaningless thing like he'd thought but is actually a beautiful thing because it means you're connected to everyone you love even after they're gone because you're just a part of the universe and so were they.

Basically he learns what the preacher was trying to tell him: https://youtu.be/5_y5AcBV0x0

The sermon the preacher gives in that scene would actually be my unironically answer to this thread:

I'm here today to talk to you about reality. I'm here to tell you about what you already know. That this -- all this -- is not real. It is merely the limitation of our senses, which are meager devices. Your angers and your griefs and your separations are a fevered hallucination, one suffered by us all we prisoners of light in matter. And there we all are, our faces pressed to the bars looking out, looking up, asking the question -- begging the question -- "Are you there?" Would that we had ears to hear. Because every moment, every now, is an answer. Every beat of every heart, every second of every minute, every minute of every hour, every hour of every day is an answer. And the answer is, "YES!" Listen... Your sorrows pin you to this place. They divide you from what your heart knows. And there are a lot of good hearts out there. I'm looking and I'm seeing a lot of good hearts out there. And we bandage our soft selves in hardness and anger. You are a stranger to yourself and yet He knows you. And when your hard heart made you liken to the stone and broke you from his body, which is the stars and the wind between the stars, He knew you. He knew you yet and forever... because, I ask you, how could the Father forget his children? How could the world forget itself? It doesn't matter that the children do not understand what they are. It doesn't matter that the world thinks it is many different things rather than one -- Him -- It doesn't matter. My sad and joyous and frightened and courageous brothers and sisters, I want you to do something for me. I want you to close your eyes. I want you to close your eyes and let your chests swell as His lungs... feel His pulsing in us, in each other, every single one of you sitting here today, each other... And I want you to listen for that answer.

If ever your sorrow becomes such a burden that you forget yourself, forget this world, I want you to remember this truth that's as indelible as the sun in the sky and the ground beneath your feet...This world is a veil and the face you wear is not your own. The shape of our true face is not yet known to us. And so I press my eyes to the bars and I look out and I look up. And I ask the question. No... I beg the question. Jesus Christ... Jesus Christ your arms open and close. The echoes of my life could never contain a single truth about you. You move the feather in the ash. You touch the leaf with His flame. You lent your soul to an infinity of atomic creation and because of it, I am less than a drop in the ocean. So how then can I know sorrow? How then can I know despair? Does the rain know sorrow? Does the grass and the mountains, those beautiful mountains, know despair? Such is not His province and so not be our purpose. Be... in him -- of him -- and then know peace. That is his gift to us; our birthright.

The naturally occurring human empathy you'd possess if social isolation and /b/ hadn't deadened it.

You know it wasn't an actual preacher who just wandered on set right? That it was dialogue written by Nic Pizzolato and read by an actor?
And he wrote that character as someone in touch with the truth, a sort of rebuke to Rust, and Rust treats him with contempt because of his hangups. Just think about what he says to Rust as Rust walks away from him, "Compassion is ethics detective!"
Rusts answer is "Yes it is." in a dismissive way, showing how he doesn't even consider that this guy might be actually in the know and figures it's a broken clock being right situation.
He shoulda listened to him.

Incidentally, the preachers sermon is basically a summary of Huxleys The Perennial Philosophy with a bit of Alan Watts in the mix. But, tho Pizzolato might not be a true original (if such a thing even exists), but he's a great synthesizer and the preachers summary is almost better than Huxleys whole book.

If you think that quote is deep or life changing, you're either 14 or mentally ill/disabled.

>Empathy, social approval and providing a nice experience for others helps you to survive, reproduce, and ensure survival of offspring, which can also be viewed as "christianity lite" since it's the same bullshit at the core but without the extra stuff.
The point being, why would we give away adaptative features that have helped the survival of our group by bettering cohesion and cooperation?
And, on the other hand, why would you reject the adhesion of new adaptative features that allow your group - your included - to continue surviving?

>>84376920

Being a bad person seems to be the template for the success I see around me, and the success I see around me isn't at all destructive.

because empathy doesn't exist and the only reason anyone does (or doesn't do) anything is because they're afraid of being slapped by skydaddy

>>84385543
Empathy is literally a mecanism inside your brain. It's called mirror neurons, look it up cunt.

I ain't reading all that you autistic weirdo.

>>84385599
did you write that post with that next word suggestion thing?

"C’est l’histoire d’une société qui tombe et qui au fur et à mesure de sa chute se répète sans cesse pour se rassurer : jusqu’ici tout va bien, jusqu’ici tout va bien, jusqu’ici tout va bien... Le problème ce n’est pas la chute, c’est l’atterrissage."

(It's about a society on its way down. And as it falls,it keeps telling itself: "So far so good... So far so good... So far so good." [But] it's not how you fall that matters It's how you land.)
