Present: Interrupting the Chemistry coursebook after a mere two pages of reading because of more arresting thoughts.
Entry: Happiness can not be held as the absolute moral standard. There are people who are never happy, are always dull or bored, but they do what they want to do, what they think is best for them, without as much as making another person frown. Those people aren’t bad, are they? They could easily do whatever is needed of a man to qualify as the hypothetical ideal man. They’re just a different personality - a personality of being a very innocently snobbish kinda people. Which is what your exes, who seem so goddamn perfect in all respects but still don’t know how to be awed out of their heart chambers at the sight of a greatness or drowned in their blood in the face of worldwide sacrilege. They just a little limp, that’s all. But they can still account for duller varieties of the “Morally 10″. And then there are those who can never think anything perfect, not even their sweet little unfailing angry frown. We nick them ‘Managers’ in our Homo dominated world. So there, they are not happy, or doing only that what brings them happiness. Why should they be blackmarked by that morally inked pen? And this isn’t a negative response to human evolution. This just makes the gene pool wider, much like that is in most other species save humans. How this serves evolution is simple. Dull snob girl marries dull snob guy. Dull snob girl’s dull snob girlfriend marries dull snob guy’s dull snob boyfriend. They have a lot of dull snob children who marry each other. The Managers do the same. There are a few exponentially increasing cross-marriages which the Managers and their “brothers” the dull snob ones don’t mind. The dulls snob ones eventually start avoiding the Managers, except when pressing. Internationally, there were the Stuffy Garrulous millionaire wives, the the Slapstick Charmers, the Unhygienic Rockstars, the Overwhelming Poets, the Hypochondriac Heirs among another twenty score human classes. They then start missing their brothers on purpose, and eventually, because of their similar interests and inclinations, evolve into a races, and slowly sub-species of humans with features specializing in serving those interests and inclinations. Give it another few thousand years, and they’ll start calling each other DNA relatives. Another era, and we evolved several brand new species from the parent species homo sapiens sapiens.
Obviously, is the happy personality quotient is a very important factor in getting laid and spreading your kind, but evolution is still the most likely God of Spreading too.
Stoners = happiness seeking = morally ideal acc to objectivists. reward pathway activates, therefore what gives them happiness obviously comes first in their actions. Another dooming argument.
