That is, if any cunt values itself within this thread, I'll be shafting them in some form. In case you're wondering, jamest isn't here.

Well, I'm gonna get out of bed every morning... breathe in and out all day long.

Think rational and act rational. What you have you will be more likely to keep. You will be more likely to increase your community. And so it goes.

Daily life is founded far more on habit, routine and the satisfaction of basic needs without a broader intellectual framework, in reality.

Quick response. More to follow
Why do you throw away so much of your life as being habit, routine, no broader intellectual framework?
wisedupearly wrote:You are not to blame as this attitude is baked into the de facto philosophy of modern Western society. As you are capable of rational thought why wouldn't you want to apply it to all parts of your life?
wisedupearly wrote:When you think and act rationally in everyday life you are far from intellectualism as what you are working with and improving is right in front of you. It does depend on the approval of others, only your satisfaction.
You can argue about consciousness and free will until the cows come home to die and you will not have improved your life, your daily life at all.

I value myself for two faculties intrinsic to humans.
My faculty of perception allows to me find satisfaction in reality.
My faculty of rational thought allows me to survive, if not thrive.
