Doing all these will lead to global RECESSION

Humans have lived before the advent of these for hundreds of years. And we were better off then.

Nonsense. Nature's law is survival of the fittest. We didn't make the law. Those who survived did so by killing others, not being nice. That's just the truth. A nice lion wouldn't kill anything, he'd starve to death

Be selfless. Like the sun

We evolved. That's what happened.

Maybe. Sure. For some people. Why not?

But that's why America is the richest, most powerful country in the world

PoliteActivist:

lol

wis3:
16Or it could be you subsconsious mind telling you to make that move ern though it's a dangerous one.

BUT IT WORKS!
That's why America is the richest, most powerful country in the world while all these Asian countries preaching Tao wallow in poverty

PoliteActivist:


But that's why America is the richest, most powerful country in the world

you have warped idea of what wealth and power's all about.

What do you understand by this?

wis3:
Money can create as many problems as it can solve.

Can! Anything is possible. What's more likely is that you'd have one less thing preventing you from living life as you want to!

wis3:
Humans have lived before the advent of these for hundreds of years. And we were better off then.

No we weren't. People lived a miserable life including back breaking work, infant mortality, early death, constant pregnancies

wis3:
imagine a world where everyone was equally rich. So much money chasing nothing no one would want to render any form of service to you, because you're all rich.

Utopian nonsense. Refusing to deal with reality. That's why communism NEVER works while capitalism flourishes

PoliteActivist:


Can! Anything is possible. What's more likely is that you'd have one less thing preventing you from living life as you want to!

Material things make you happy. Come to think of it, how much do we really need to be happy?

wis3:
What's that one thing you have done for youself youre very proud of ?

I flew myself to Tahiti and had a grand time

PoliteActivist:


No we weren't. People lived a miserable life including back breaking work, infant mortality, early death, constant pregnancies

Technology has done more harm than good to humans.

wis3:
There are alot of perks that come with being selfless.

More perks come with being aware you have a self.
Being selfless is not same as not having a self

PoliteActivist:


Utopian nonsense. Refusing to deal with reality. That's why communism NEVER works while capitalism flourishes

alot of these things won't matter in a few years to come.

wis3:
Be selfless. Like the sun

That's why the sun is an inanimate object without a brain. Only a fool will be like the sun

PoliteActivist:


I flew myself to Tahiti and had a grand time

It'd have be nicer to do something that'd change the world. Put smiles on people's faces. But that's not something a selfless person would understand

wis3:
We evolved. That's what happened.

Sounds good ONLY on paper!

PoliteActivist:


That's why the sun is an inanimate object without a brain. Only a fool will be like the sun

We'd all be dead without the sun. We couldn't grow foods or keep warm if the sun wasn't there. Be like the sun. Overly selfless

wis3:
lol

Nonsense. Every living thing lives for itself

wis3:
you have warped idea of what wealth and power's all about.

Ok, the richest countries are these dirt poor Asian countries preaching this stuff

PoliteActivist:


Nonsense. Every living thing lives for itself

Plants are living things and they don't live for themselves. They live so we could eat. We'd starve to death if plants were selfless and decided not to grow because they didn't want to be eaten.

wis3:
What do you understand by this?

You mean mismanaged life. What has that to do with wealth??

PoliteActivist:


Ok, the richest countries are these dirt poor Asian countries preaching this stuff

You'd find alot of the so called things that you think make you happy don't matter much if you travel alot. I know because I've been places

wis3:
Material things make you happy. Come to think of it, how much do we really need to be happy?

You need enough to be able to fly to any country you want any time you want and FREEDOM to do what you want!

wis3:
Technology has done more harm than good to humans.

Lie! Without technology you'd be cold or hot and spend most of your time trying to survive

wis3:
alot of these things won't matter in a few years to come.

But they matter RIGHT NOW. And your tao tells us right now is all there is

PoliteActivist:


Lie! Without technology you'd be cold or hot and spend most of your time trying to survive

Before the advent of these things people made fire to keep warm. Same technology have countries manufacturing weapons that could kill hundreds of millions in a matter of minutes.

wis3:
Plants are living things and they don't live for themselves. They live so we could eat. We'd starve to death if plants were selfless and decided not to grow because they didn't want to be eaten.

Nonsense. They are TOTALLY selfish. Their benefits to us is unintentional
