Ignorance doesn't mean stupid.

I. . . I can't believe you posted that. I literally twitched when I read this because I cannot believe how someone could be so ignorant to say such a thing. Do you even know what close-minded is? Did you read any of my posts? Do you think before you press the "Submit Reply" button? . . . It's more like "
I like down upon others for being ignorant, insulting, close-minded, repetitive and liars". If someone would post an argument I already haven't counter-argued over a dozen times already, I guarantee you won't see me "looking down upon you", not that I ever was until the same people began re-arguing the same things over and over, constantly ignoring my prior posts, pressuring me with insults and lying.

Look at how people respond; that should suffice.

So, using criteria from scientific and historical facts to help conclude that the elements that dictate us also define selfishness is ridiculous?

This isn't a courtroom. I don't see any lawyers or jury, so, no, case "not" closed. And if my explanations were unreasonable and "way out there", I wouldn't be arguing them with care, successfully, and nobody, which you've been falsely claiming, would be agreeing with me.

Kind of like this message.
For those of you who can't stand me so much, why do you read my posts? Why bother wasting your time? No one is forcing you to put up with me or to willingly debate with me, like I wanted. So, you're all doing what I want you to do by posting. If you all dislike me so much, surely you wouldn't want to satisfy me by responding. . . right?

It still requires conscious acknowledgment.

Aside from the animal part, I agree with you because it's what I've been arguing, except you seem to think emotions have nothing to do with instincts, which is wrong.

I've seen ants do that too. Impressive hills they make too.

Well, can we work with the term "Those things that have almost exactly the same bodily, cellular, brain and nerve structures as animals"? If you don't want to believe we're animals, you can't deny that we're similar to animals, aside from my last remark, we're proven to only be approximately 2% different from primates, so it's not like us acting like what we're related too is far off, also considering that we share the same instincts as them.

So, the correct definition is ridiculous? And yes, I know everyone would fall under it; that's the whole point of the this thread.

Yes.

. . . Because it's hurting you, otherwise you wouldn't care and would just ignore their pain, like sociopaths.

Yes it does. . . If you're not motivated to do something, why would you want to do it in the first place?
