Those who understand binary, and those who do not.Ok, sorry. Better one (hopefully). How many nerds does it take to change a lightbulb? 11.

Artinum Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 There are two types of men in the world; those who get caught ogling women, and those who do not.(Raises hand)Um...

leadchipmunk Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 So guys, we haven't had a really manly topic in a little while (not counting figuring out the Chinese spy), and I kinda miss it. I, of course, don't have any ideas of what to talk about, so I'm throwing this out there. Anything new with any of the nerdy-fit males?

Conk Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 I just got a job working with the Salvation Army. Its a paid one year internship to work at a Salvation Army Temple in St. Louis.We could talk about altruism or ethics or something like that. I think those are manly.

leadchipmunk Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Way to go on the job! What do they have you doing there?And I must agree, altruism and ethics in general are manly topics that, I believe, most anyone should be able to hold their own in a conversation about.

161803398874989 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Here's a manly topic for you?Boobs or butt?If you swing the other way, I don't exactly know what the 'other' quality then butt would be.

Artinum Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 As one of those other-way swingers, I'd say it's generally a choice between front and back. Both have their charms.

Hannibal Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 We could talk about altruism or ethics or something like that. I think those are manly. I think that when you get right down to it, there is really no such thing as altruism. If you take the meaning as simply kindness or helping others, sure it exists. But if you want to define it as "selfless concern for the welfare of others," I argue that deep down all altruistic acts are inherently selfish. People do it because they feel a sense of obligation for kindness shown them in the past, hope of a reward in the future (re-payment, or for the religious, a better seat in heaven), or perhaps just the emotional reward we get when we help someone. All of these ideas/feelings exist because it's hardwired into our brains through evolution. It was an advantage to survival when our ancestors helped each other out, as the community/group grew stronger over time when individuals helped the other members. We help others to trigger some switch in our brains that makes us feel better, just like some people get a positive feeling when the eat junk food, beat a video game, sink a shot in basketball, or whatever. It's all brain chemicals and we like those chemicals. You notice that some people are really heavily involved in charity; I think they do it because they're in a way addicted to those chemicals. Take away those chemicals, and I bet the person no longer has any impulse to help others. Just a thought. What do you guys think? Hannibal's Workout Log | Hannibal's Blog Link to comment

She was determined to demonstrate a completely selfless act - and failed repeatedly. "Letting a bee sting me" was an early attempt - she wanted it to look big in front of its bee friends, but didn't realise that bees die after using their stings. The final part of the episode she had it cracked - she made a donation to a charity run by a TV station that brought up bad childhood memories. A good deed, with no good feelings. Perfect! Except Joey was working on their donations switchboard, and her donation got him to appear on television, and this made her happy. Damn!I'm inclined to agree with you, Hannibal - I don't believe in true altruism, and would consider it a form of mental illness if it did exist. There's always a payoff for any good deed, even if the payoff is irrational or intangible. What happens when you play Final Fantasy VII with everyone called Cloud?
