I’d bet at a certain point of societal development economic growth is linked with many positives. Unfortunately, we probably adopted it as our only metric and the min/max’ers have taken it to its most extreme. Now when we look at the data we are way outside the range where it’s a useful indicator. Our targets are too high and we need to monitor other indicators of prosperity.

No worries. I log on Facebook and all I see are videos catered to me based on shit I got sucked into last time I reluctantly went on Facebook.

Remember when Facebook was good? Yeah, me either

You don’t have to humor the troll. We all have the internet we are all free to independently verify.

Facebook deserves every ounce of shit it has coming to them.

I can’t imagine why you are getting push back. I can tell you are very passionate in your position and are on the right side of a complicated issue. The only reason I can think of is your idea hasn’t become mainstream yet and people hate it when they don’t know they should be upset.

Either way I have no skin in it and I agree that meta is garbage. Thank you for be passionate about something in this dispassionate world.

But how? Like I’m not saying you won’t feel pain or won’t suffer but if we’re talking all of time that is just your state of being having known nothing else.

I still don’t understand how eternal life would be a good thing. Seems to me all things would fall away and as the patterns that make up make up consciousness become less and less important you would slip away from your identity.

Now I know you could consider the reseting of your memory or something like that but the moment you start talking that way you’ve introduced some level of reincarnation which is not apart of the Christian belief.

Ok but chronic pain happens what, 100 years max?

Now that times infinity…

… no, that’s your interpretation of what I said. I asked a straight forward question and you put your own spin on it.

He didn’t start a war?!? That must mean he is a pacifist!

I think if Christians advertised no after life as punishment some might find it a pleasant thought. To stop existing… there is no fear in it. It’s our drive for survival that created fear. There is no sorrow in it there is no need for sorrow or happiness because nothingness doesn’t have chemical fueled emotions.

All I’m saying is if you expiernced anything for eternity would your understanding of pain or even pleasure have any meaning at all?

What about the post right above you?

into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

God’s love seems a little temperamental and reserved for some nasty people. I think I’m good on God’s love.

You don’t understand. I touched my peepee. I deserve this.

At what point does it stop being a punishment and just all you’ve ever experienced?

Like how would they make it so you don’t get use to it? Erase your memory every 10 minutes? Sounds like the end of those 10 minutes is relief. So all you’ve ever experienced is 10 minutes of pain than relief. Doesn’t sound so bad. Even if all you ever remembered was the memories of your past life and then 10 mins of pain at least you would have those good memories to reflect on before you would have relief again.

O am not personally affiliated with any party but will be voting Democrat, as it seems, for the rest of my time here.

Won’t someone think of the Job providers?! How will they ever afford their third yacht. Damn communists.

^^^this is you^^^^

Another meme purist. If you guys keep this up you’re going to spawn a new variety of meme.

This goes back to the original sin. It’s stupid to be evil and greedy. The latter is the foundation is their entire ideology is built on the former is the mortar holding together the bricks of other people’s labor their house is built on.
