severe pain at lying for own profit. — Ansiktsburk
Not killing all happiness by striving for certainty, arguing, logic and all that kind of meticulous bs. — Ansiktsburk

slight correction to the human body fact (which is very interesting, isn't it?) is that our neurons don't get replaced. I wonder if replacing them would result in us "feeling" any different, within our own bodies? I — tomatohorse
I would give everyone else god powers and then watch us all fight to the death in all the chaos — Cobra
At 85 not feeling bad means happy — jgill
This thinking is so shallow it sinks below wrong. — jgill
