...oh, and if you think Bill Wiltrack is the BEST philosopher & poster that has ever appeared upon the PhilosophyNow Forums to this point PLEASE DO NOT VOTE upon this poll at all.

And I humbly accept your admiration.

I will wear this responsibility with all of the proper nobility from this point forward.


Thank you -
Respectfully, Bill Wiltrack III

Philosophically I don't know what life is for.

My motivation in this forum and other similar formats is to defend science against pseudo-science.

You should add that one to your list so I can vote for it.

I voted only because I wanted to see the results more than I wanted to vote for Bill Wiltrack.

This should have been an option. :wink:

Meh I aint voting where's the obligatory bacon sandwiches no comment option. Come on Bill you have to give people the chance to not vote. Polls are democratic, that means lazy people with no real opinion need to be represented too. :)

This life is for feelings.
We live for our feelings.
We help other people because it gives us good feeling.
We do great things because we have passions feeling.
We fight because we have anger feeling.

We think of making legacy, but after death we will not be there to see if anyone remember/follow us and also we don't know there is something like rebirth, and even if there is rebirth will not remember that we did this. It doesn't make sense. But still we think about it because it gives great feeling.

Life is for reproduction, if you think it's for anything else, you're only fooling yourself. Sex is the end all, be all, of life.

Of any person you have known, who has died, what is left, but their children. And if no children, nothing.
