If someone offered you $1 billion under the condition that you could never be as happy as you are now, would you take it?
>>
>>61839532
no
/thread
>>
>>61839532
yeah, I'd be happy with that
>>
>would you agree to your life being worse
the brainlet onslaught continues
>>
>>61839592
Happiness isn't necessarily the ultimate measure of life. If it meant I could still use that money to make a difference in the world in a way that gave me satisfaction, then maybe, but I don't know if that would count as being happier than I am now.
>>
>>61839532
No.
>>
>>61839532
Knowing I was getting a billion would make me extremely happy
Being 99.9% as happy as that moment in time would be amazing
So yes
>>
>>61839532
My instinct is to say no, but I'm having an internal debate as to whether the sacrifice of my life (I WILL kill myself if I'm worse than this forever) is worth one billion dollars given to freedom fighters for my folk worldwide.
Still leaning towards no but it is giving me pause.
>>
>>61839532
I have suicidal depression so YES
>>
No what
>>
Sure, then finance the genocide of the individual and his epistemic community that was stupid enough to signal cooperation in a environment devoid of cooperators and laugh
>>
>>61839532
>as happy as you are now
lol

i haven't felt happiness since watching my mom die
>>
>>61839532
happy is a completely subjective impermanent state yes I would take the money wtf i could pay a hooker to suck me off and I would be happier than I am now this board is so fucking dumb
>>
>>61839532
Precisely this amount of happy? Sure, now pay up faggot
>>
>>61839655
it doesnt say you will never be happier just as happy
>>
>>61839532
Yes absolutely. I dont think it would make much of a difference.

this is a trick question, and one that is very good for biz to sit down and mull over.
>1billion, or making it if you will, requires suffering, a journey that must be travelled, you will never be the same
>>
>>61839905
>>61839914
You will be less happy than you are now for the rest of your life. Do you take the money? Nothing you buy with it can make you as happy or happier than you are now. Do you still want it?
>>
Yes. I'm a man. My happiness isn't very important to me or anyone else. Happiness is a woman (read: child) and child emotion. I'd sacrifice my own happiness to elevate the life of those around me, like I already do.
>>
>>61839532
No because if I were any less happier than this and couldn’t ever be this happy again, I would kill myself.
>>
>>61839905
>I would be truly happy if I paid a hooker
Sad state of the world
>>
>>61839532
I'm like a 4/10 right now so
>>61839544
>>
>>61839532
Yes, others will be happy in my stead.
>>
>>61839886
is a life without happiness the kind of life your mother would have wanted for you?
>>
>>61840528
My mother is colder than ice she doesn’t give a fuck about me, no one does.
>>
I already do it for free
>>
>>61839532
Yes. Striving to be happy is a fool's errand anyway. Why be attached to a state that is not in your control?
>>
only faggots chase "happiness"
>>
Fucking goyim asked me the other day what I do for cheddar... goyin please YOU WILL SPEAK WHEN SPOKEN TO FUCKING SLAVES TRYING TO ASK ME ABOUT MY MONEY MY MONEY GOYIM REEEEEEEEEEEE I study the tulmud THAT IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
>>
>>61839646

>>
>>61839532

No nigger kike
>>
>>61839532
Nope.
I'm not even happy right now, but even if I was, the answer is a firm no.
>>
>>61839544
What point is the money without joy
>>
>>61839532
A billion dollars to get married?
>>
>>61839532
Sure, I'd be fine with being 99% as happy as I am now
>>
>>61839532
>If someone offered you $1 billion under the condition that you could never be as happy as you are now, would you take it?
Depends on the details. If the offer was
>you get $1 billion
>but you will never be as happy because we'll blind you, cut off your legs and arms and put you in a box on life support
Then I'd say - no.
If the offer was actually good, then sure. I'm not a happiness cultist.
>>
>>61839532
Does "never be as happy as you are now" mean:
>how happy you were when the word "now" was spoken
or
>how happy you were the moment before the offer was made
>>
Trust me, when you are not happy, nothing will make you happy. Not even a billion dollars.

Anyway, if I really needed a billion dollars, I would make sure I have the best time of my life that day, somehow.

How could I be less happy with a billion dollars?
>>
>>61842091
Well in your case you could never suck another dick
>>
>>61839532
yes because I cannot possibly be any less happy than I am now.
>>
>>61839532
Yes. Fuck you.
Do you think if you asked a farmer in the 1920s if he was happy you'd get a response other than "idk lol"? Because all men should be concerned with is if the lights are on, the kids and wife are fed, and then sitting down after a long day and eating and having a beer. With a billion dollars all those problems are not only taken care of but your family is set up for generations until someone along the line royally fucks it all up.
>>
>>61842281
>>61840194
What is this retarded narrative attempt of
>Men should not be concerned with happiness but wörk for our scams
After 2 decades of trying to shame and nudge future generations into buying your ponzi baggies out, screeching incel and now take the torch now a call to "responsibility"?
Lmfao, the Rubicon was crossed long time ago. Get fucked, go extinct, genocide of the elder, polity and women over 21
>>
that is such a retarded premise, you are never as happy as you can be, especially if you are about to receive money
>>
>>61842281
The conflict within this statement is that you arent a 1920s farmer but a 2020s fatbody eith callousless hands. No amount of rancher larping with pickup trucks and boot barn apparel will change that.

I’m not happy already.
>>
>>61839532
The deal changes significantly depending on the definition of happiness you are using. Either way I am probably going to take it.

Yeah, I won't experience the highs anymore, but I'm also eliminating 99% of my lows. And in my experience, the lows vastly outnumber the highs.
>>
>>61839532
I am rarely happy now. Can I be happier or is this the upper bound post-being given it? I would be happy it would empower me to act purposefully and deploy capital toward goodness but for me to not be happy I would either be somehow Bradbury style unable to do this or only able to do this in a way that failed or did the opposite or have my heart changed to not like goodness, in which cases I would not take the money. Money doesn't matter. God does.
>>
>>61842457
>t.bot slop
You really suck at behavioralism and artificial consensus generation
>>
>>61842448
The lows also have no bottom. It can always get worse, especially if you're a poorfag
>>
>>61842347
If you think happiness is some kind of a top priority, then you're still a child.
>>
>>61839886
SAD
>>
>>61842517
Its my top priority
Sure you female brained retard has the rational incentive to use your limited methods to try to get men to do what is "good" for, so keeping the 20th century ponzi corporate-state communism system around promises that can't be guaranteed spinning, so you get a risk less profit

Though luck hole, not my interest.
>>
>>61842547
>buzzword buzzword buzzword

>>
>>61842579
>I am too stupid to understand relationships between concepts
In stupid
You hole longed communism, the corporate-state complex because somebody promised you that the corporate-state complex is going to take care of you
The corporate-state complex financed itself and your payouts through rolling over debt on the future
That debt was guaranteed to the creditors through the promise that men in the future gonna work it off

That did not happen. You and your god the corporate-state communist complex are left holding the bag, trying to use their limited methods to get the men to work off their consume of the past 50 years

Men said, fuck your hole yourself
Fuck your god
Fuck your plans
Die!
>>
>>61842614
I'm elated that spergs like you are too awkward around women to breed more retards into this already grating world
>>
>>61839532
>take billion
>always be even more happy from then on
>... profit.
>>
>>61842629
>Nudging and shaming
Your little ponzi requires more suckers per uterus, not less. But keep up your methodology, you are accelerating the collapse. And why the fuck would I want to have children with a toxic asset? That's a sure way to minimize my happiness and to lose purchasing power when I can get a frustrated hole for the price of three shots in a dive bar and faking giving her attention
>>
>>61842614
>someone tells you that placing happiness as the top priority is childish
>you reply with inept mumbling-spam about women, communism and buzzwords
Based schizo

Yeah buddy a loving woman who is a beautiful homemaker and the mother of your precious children, incredibly sour grapes man how awful. I'm gonna spare you the indignity of calling you a lame handfucker and leave you with this farting gift
