@ least ur happy then

The attainment of happiness is impossible.

Suffering and dischord are woven into the fabric of reality. Everyone must express suffering and dischord as a result.

The idea that happiness is attainable is there to make you suffer even more because you feel bad that you can't attain it.

It's a perfect system

And I was just trying to poke fun at the quality of the threads in most of the sections....

Oops, my comment wasn't aimed at you, by the way, I did find the first post funny

Dude, sorry to tell you, but your graph is completely wrong. If happiness goes down as intelligence goes up, that implies that hapiness is a dependant of intelligence (mathematically). The line wouldn't be straight, it would be curved. Yeah, I like math.

Hmmm, you can explain that the error exists, but can you explain why it is an error?

ok, well assuming that one could actually derive an equation to demonstrate the dependancy relation between hapiness and intellect, I find it hard to believe that it would be a linear equation. Linear equations, those with variables to the exponent of 1 produce straight lines. If you were to derive an equation, you'd have to take samples from a huge pool of people, and make some sort of 'best fit' graph. Like most things in nature, these graphs are usually some form of a quadratic equation, thus producing curved lines. But this is all really pseudo-science with no real scientific basis anyways.

you know i'd have to argue that it looks more like an inverse sign curve...i wouldn't say happiness and intelligence has a direct relationship like that hahaha...

i think it should be inversely proportional

i think the graph is really just a microcosm for the simplicities of our society, and how someone of above average intelligence can't find fulfillment or happiness while wallowings with pigs.

but it's really just a simpson's quote.

And as my penis goes up, my intelligence goes down. So that means as long as i'm horny enough i'll be happy enough. I think.

Sine curve. HA! I know math AND I can spell.

As serotonin, oxytocin, vasopressin, dopamine levels increase in parts of our brain; happiness increases!


true story!
