In 2500 years, humans still haven't been able to achieve this. Is it time to just throw in the towel?

do you engage in the pursuit of happiness, anon.
>>540521959seems quite foolish when you could simply choose to be happy instead
>>540521845>>540521871>Aristotle the cishet man>Plato the boy loving homoWoah /pol/ what changed?
>>540521959>pursuit of happiness,That's not the same as being happy. It's just a word trick. If someone is guaranteeing you the pursuit of happiness, then they are also giaranteeing you that you will never achieve it, since you will always be pursuing it. It's a trap.
>>540521845>>540521871Both 1PBTID jewbots
>>540523723It is the pursuit of happiness because happiness is fleeting. This was a popular poetic theme about happiness in the 18th and 19th centuries. You have to puraue happiness because as soon as you catch it, happiness begins to run away again. This is the historic explanation for the term "pursuit of happiness."
>>540521717"happiness is the goal of life"pathetic. Conquest of the universe is the goal of life.
>>540521717Bet you the Greek word he used is a lot more nuanced than "happiness" but some faggot just translated it as that to suit his retarded worldview.
>>540521776>>NATIONAL SOCIALISM NOW! by William Joyce fucking cringe. fuck off you upside down, dickhead
>>540524302Aristotle would say just gathering up energy and resources is a means, and not an end unto itself.The question would be: to what end should you put the energy and matter of the galaxy, if ever they were conquered?
His source on that is susLife is genuinely full of suffering, so where is the happiness in it? Vanity of vanities
>>540523846so say the people who are never happy and those who benefit from you pursuing it. in one case you're being led by the blind, in the other you're a hamster in the wheel providing for their continued happiness>>540525058that's true, eudaimonia is cooler than mere happiness.
>>540526864better have all that shit than not in case we ever need it later for something we havent predicted yet
>>540527386Yeah, as suspected.>Eudaimonia is an ancient Greek word that translates to "human flourishing", "living well", or having a "good spirit".>Practice Virtue: Live a moral life by showing traits like courage, wisdom, kindness, and fairness.>Build Good Habits: Shape your character slowly through steady, repeated good choices.>Use Reason: Think clearly and reflect on your actions and place in the worldSo literally the exact opposite of the hedonistic message it's been twisted into in the quote, likely by some kike.
>>540524302but why conquer the universe? to become a giant leech on entire planets? spread niggers and jews onto other planets? destroy happiness for all life on a cosmic scale? what should drive a humanity not possessed by some insectoid eldridge demon to attempt to imprison their own sun in a dyson sphere? as we can clearly see nowadays: technological progress and comfort is not the same as happiness. in fact if you look closely we have been given stewardship over just one planet and we are messing it up big time. letting humanity become interplanetary is like farming cockroaches: who is benefiting but the cockroach?
>>540528656>as we can clearly see nowadays: technological progress and comfort is not the same as happiness.indeed, but power matters, happiness doesnt, happiness is just a hormone inside your primitive brain it has no value, the power to destroy galaxies and change the laws of physics, that, that is valuable.an advanced civilisation could simulation quadrillions of human brains in perpetual total bliss for trillions of years and this would be doing a good thing in your eyes, I see it as useless
