Actually its teenage atheist activists like you who throw a hissy fit just because someone said "soul" who fuck up threads like this.

1: There are other processes involved with pleasure/happiness than just 2 neurochemicals. If you simply poured dopamine into a bucket of brain cells in vitro you wouldn't be providing pleasure for a conscious being, there has to be an active neural network and certain nerve impulses involved.
2: There are philosophical issues about consciousness and what happiness actually is.

These are 2 valid points and you would rather split hairs over someone's liberal and innocent use of the word "soul".

Yes, you really are a cool and edgy hipster for rebelling against your soccer mom for making you go to sunday school all those years, but this is a forum about science not teen angst butthurt.

Try here instead,

yeah fuck the rules! moot is obviously a fundamentalist mormon and we're totally not circle-jerking fags but edgy rebels sticking it to religiodumbs, amirite guiz?

I hate to discuss semantics but most self-avowed nihilists just confuse cynicism with realism and don't understand nihilism at all, I am forced to split nihilism into 2 definitions.

1: The original abstract concept of nihilism as explained by Nietzsche who did not display it in a positive light and theorized that in the future nihilism would be replaced by a new set of values that is compatible with the real world unlike religion which depends on the supernatural.

2: 15 year olds who watched "fight club", "american beauty" or "avatar" or the many trendy movies out there and now believe they are superior to everyone else, some particularly low intelligence specimens retain these beliefs well into their 20s.

>hurr republicans are so stupid
>am i cool yet?
>im so edgy and shocking

>hurr im so edgy for being atheist, anyone who point out I'm acting like a twat is a secret christian fundy durr derp im so smart and special

>hold a deeply seated hatred for my own species
>i would exterminate mankind, including myself without hesitation
wow so edgy hipster are you

Humans are flawed but that only means humans are to be surpassed, if humans were killed then another sapient civilization building species may not evolve in time before the sun bellows into a red giant and destroys all life on earth. If another species did achieve sapience then they would probably be just as destructive as us anyway.

Maybe humanity should be exterminated eventually, but not before it is surpassed by something else so sapient life can continue on.
