I like to be drawn out nonconflictively on my views by someone desiring to understand me.  That's different from arguing, from my perspective.

LOL! You not only responded, but are STILL engaging in the argument. No one's going to believe you if you keep demonstrating the contrary. If you can't figure out how to use the ignore function of the forum, that's on you. And if you think being called for hypocrisy and negative cognitive bias is mudslinging...have you met the internet? O_o

Quote:I didn't concede that. I was saying instinct makes people struggle. They can't care after they're gone, but they struggle or suffer before that. Hey, I never called your view irrational.

Sentient animals besides humans are better never having existed, too, but my thought either way on that wouldn't necessarily be relevant to it on humans.

No one struggles for something they don't want. And I didn't call your view irrational. I said "Seems like an irrational fear of suffering". But you're not objecting to the "fear" part, just whether or not said fear is rational.

So you're really only concerned with human suffering, like you experience.

I'm through writing to you, with your misrepresentations.

Maybe next time you'll think twice about starting a discussion you have no real interest in following beyond your own unjustified opinion.
