The daily flamebait by Arachnid2004-10-21 02:00:38
  Depends by Spisefisken2004-10-21 02:09:19
    Wasn't it Freud that held the view... by Arachnid2004-10-21 02:11:22
      I agree with you there by Yaeger2004-10-21 03:45:29
        Huh? by Spisefisken2004-10-21 04:08:23
          I think you're missing my point somewhat by Yaeger2004-10-21 04:44:51
            You might not expect it consciously by Spisefisken2004-10-21 04:53:48
              The *real* point I am trying to make by Yaeger2004-10-21 07:15:43
                But are acting selfish by Spisefisken 2004-10-21 07:28:56
even if they are doing something just to please me. It might be that they get to see me smile and feel happy about that. That way they get something fulfilled themselves. I for instance opened the door for a guy carrying a lot of things, on my way to a meeting just an hour ago. The only reason people could possibly see was that I was being nice. It was the only reason, but it also made me feel happy. He might have found it very nice that I did this, so he remember that this was the case. He will then if he sees one in the same situation open the door for him. I might eventually need somebody to open the door for me, and because I was nice towards this guy today it spread like a dominoeffect so a person actually opens the door for me.
On top of this it made me feel good that I helped out one of the people making my food everyday. It does feel good to be nice and I am therefore rewarded that way.

                  And it makes you feel good to know by Yaeger2004-10-21 07:41:03
                    That is how the world works by Spisefisken2004-10-21 07:44:39
                      Does it ? by Yaeger2004-10-21 07:54:44
                        By "selfish reason", do you mean . . . by HadEnuf2004-10-21 08:40:08
                          To answer the question, neither. by Yaeger2004-10-21 08:44:55
                            What is the sound of one hand clapping? by Naruki2004-10-21 08:51:34
                              What impossible restrictions ? by Yaeger2004-10-21 08:57:49
                                In your statement. by Naruki2004-10-21 09:02:10
                                If you want to interpret it that way by Yaeger2004-10-21 09:32:12
                                It's just that, in your first statement, . . . by HadEnuf2004-10-21 09:54:23
                                That's it exactly. by Naruki2004-10-21 15:17:07
                            There simply *is* no such situation, as I see it by HadEnuf2004-10-21 08:53:00
                    You just assume it will devalue the action. by Naruki2004-10-21 07:51:28
                      I'll try to explain by Yaeger2004-10-21 08:06:48
                        Suppose you seek an altruistic reason by Naruki2004-10-21 08:23:33
                          Well put, on paranoia and zealotry, . . . by HadEnuf2004-10-21 08:28:19
                          This is by far a mental exercise by Yaeger2004-10-21 08:32:25
                            That does not necessarily follow by HadEnuf2006-11-19 12:55:59
                              Which is *exactly* the trap I am thinking of. by Yaeger2004-10-21 08:54:41
                                Then we are approaching the same point, . . . by HadEnuf2004-10-21 09:04:04
                                I'm approaching it from the point by Yaeger2004-10-21 09:15:13
                                And I am approaching it from *my* experience, by HadEnuf2004-10-21 09:24:12
                                Great, an argument over something we agree on :) (n/t) by Yaeger2004-10-21 09:34:57
                                No, everyone *is* capable of the sane "attitude" by HadEnuf2004-10-21 10:05:27
                                Sorry, but I don't think everyone by Yaeger2004-10-21 10:20:31
                                I might buy "unwilling", but not "incapable" by HadEnuf2004-10-21 11:09:08
                                Mmm, difficult one. by Yaeger2004-10-21 12:23:35
                            The obverse is equally "true". by Naruki2004-10-21 08:49:33
                              Which in my mind means that by Yaeger2004-10-21 08:52:15
                                I don't know whether Naruki agrees, but . . . by HadEnuf2004-10-21 08:54:55
                                Which means we don't agree with Yaeger. by Naruki2004-10-21 08:58:18
                                Not entirely certain of that by HadEnuf2004-10-21 09:16:42
                        Regardless of my benefactor's motives, by HadEnuf2004-10-21 08:27:05
                          I think you're spot on with the evaluation bit. by Yaeger2004-10-21 08:41:43
                            Not true by HadEnuf2004-10-21 09:02:44
                              The thing I am arguing for by Yaeger2004-10-21 09:13:21
                                That seems to be the first time you've made that by Naruki2004-10-21 09:24:14
                                Hey, grant *some* points for *trying* by HadEnuf2004-10-21 09:26:26
                                In future, it would help by Yaeger2004-10-21 09:39:07
                                I didn't burn you at all. That's in your mind. by Naruki2004-10-21 15:19:40
