Random thoughts

We may have to revice it when someone actually gets that far. But he'll stay this way until someone reaches his post count

Well...

So, is everyone with over 15K posts going to be "Stefaniouss"?

To the certain extend. But not too much, no need to worry.

[okrane]

Probably not. Modern people have no time at all so it would be a time saver not to have to actually spend time with people. But I wonder whether it would be like ordinary drugs, where you have to have more and more to keep up the feeling? dontknow
But people would evolve into being socially illeterate and that wouldn't be good for society nor for the business life

Well, I am actually thinking about a substitute for happiness. In light of my first idea, happiness is just a hormone secretion. So, in unhappy times, one could just compensate it with a medicine.

Imagine a world where everyone would be unconditionally happy. No more miserable valentines day for no one...

In a way, we would be more productive than we are today, which is good for society and business life.

At least the new title isn't anything I'll ever have to worry about.

Shedding some more lights into your thinking. Althoug hormones support happines, same like unhapiness - they are just body dope. They are effect not the cause.

Which is important because that makes your thinking real, how you associated it (bodily) is other factor though.

But both these feelings exist genuinely without the hormones. Just like equation result - and nothing can beat that in being more realistic.

Ohh, this one not.

I just imagined walking on the street, and seeing everybody with a big smile... a Big Fake Smile.
And some advertising...
'Got fired? Take a Happiness Pill! Got divorced? Take a Happiness Pill! Got bankrupt? Take a Happiness Pill? Your child died? Take two Happiness Pills!'
I don't know if I would like to live in such a world.

I suppose I could have ethric, but chose not to

Err, no, you not having me is not because YOU chose not to.

I was referring to the post you made in the thread of mine you closed

[asandir]

and I lost my title ....

that's not good, can you guys come up with something else?

[Elvin]

Aww I was getting used to it

They are the effect yes, the effect of causes we already know, like friends, loved ones, etc. But, what matters is that we need our friends and loved ones to obtain this effect. So, no, these feelings do not exist without the hormones. They are the hormones.

And basically, what I'm saying is, obtaining the effect through the traditional way was the only way known, what if, we could find alternate ways to get it.

@Muszka

Well, why not? It's clear that unhappiness is the main reason for all evil in this world. This reminds me of that silly film Equilibrium.

It won't be a fake smile, you're missing my point. We are accustomed to saying that happiness in genuine only because we have the things we need, like friends, love etc. But these things are what we need in order to get those hormones. So, if we obtain those hormones some other way I find it not fake. Fake it would be if we were miserable inside and pretend we're not. But actually we would be genuinely happy inside.

In order to understand the meaning of the happiness pill we would have to ask ourselves: why do we truly want friends, a wife, sex, fun. I don't think it would be that bad, as long as there are no side effects.

Note that this is not a cure for sorrow, as sorrow is also a hormone secretion. It is mainly a substitute for our needs.

It seems 15K gives just a one-day-ticket to an unqiue title.

That seems so religious... I never really liked relgion.

@okrane
maybe that the smile won't be fake, but I don't think unhappiness is the main reason for all the evil. And if there were such pills, it will be a matter of money, so those who really need it, either won't have chance to buy, either won't have money.

But as an idea in itself seems good, I'm only sceptic with the practical adaptation.

P.S.: I liked Equilibrium, though it's not original.

@asandir: I think that title was a temporary thing, at least for now.

We are working on the ranks. It will take a bit of time, so please be patient, all.
