@TheBlizWiz dude

this is minecraft

there is no science

Who says this was about minecraft? *mischievous laugh* it was about what makes you happy. I get my happinessfrom being lost in deep thoughts and finding my meanings in them

@Jordi223b So deep...

My mind explodes into a fractal of these kinds of thoughts on a daily when I'm bored. Philosophy and Metaphysics is something that was what basically birthed the scince of philosophy. Acient Philosophers were admired and seen as wise. Now if you major in Philosophy you can't do jack shit with that major which sucks. It was a career path I wanted but wrote off as an unsuccessful job path. I wonder... if Philosophy birthed scientific philosophy along with many other philosophies that've impacted the world. What are the philosophies of today? What are they impacting now and who? How?

@iDogeTwinkie I've had an unhealthy relationship too. That's why I'm happy it ended.

When it comes to money, honestly, I'm doing Forex trading because I can do it from home.
It's very risky but very lucrative business to be into. I have a mentor and he wants to help me as much as he can. Money is just something that person needs to live a daily life. Buying food and drinks and other stuff.

I definitely wouldn't want to experience being homeless. I saw a lot of homeless people in my lifetime and I always helped them with money not caring on what they'll spend it on because I knew I did a right thing. :)

What's Forex trading?

Money=happiness

@Rybye Money=happiness

because money buys you food and shelter

@MasaruCyri because money buys you food and shelter

Bah money buys him gunpowder cause he is "lazy" and "rich"

@MasaruCyri because money buys you food and shelter

Also buys you luxuries but at tge expect of who you can trust. You never know who's trust your simply just buying

@iDogeTwinkie I ask this because I'm the type of a guy who doesn't care about money & materialistic things.

TBH i'm surprised to hear you say this. I remember threads like this or this .

I think happiness is a combination of things. For instance I bought skis and I've gotten a lot of enjoyment out of them, but your millage may vary because happiness isn't about the skis. Maybe it's that I'm good at sking, or maybe it's that I still find it challenging, maybe it's about the people I ski with. Maybe it's other things, because I still think I would be happy even if I didn't ski. Sometimes you're going to be happy without trying and sometimes your going to be sad and not know what to do about it, but in the long run I think happiness is something that you seek, find, and ultimately must choose to have.

Gummy worms and cuddles

uh
candy

So what my B&O headset has to do with me who doesn't care about materialistic things?

I bought them because I always wanted them. I can buy myself what I like. I'm sure ski's weren't cheap either. :)

Hapiness is a chemical reaction in the brain triggered by things that benefit us or are important to us.

So in a more Sigmund Freud version, what does trigger this reaction to your brain?

Also the question wasn't what is happiness

Dopamine

@_Haxington_ Dopamine

Dopamine, Endorphin, Oxytocin, Serotonin

all cause addiction

And they cause a feeling of "happiness" whenever we do something we like.

Endorphin ftw

@HaloNest Endorphin ftw

All your emotions are as synthetic as the chemicals you think of when you think drugs. Literally ANY drug you can think of.

Well there are two types of hapliness though, there is short term and long term. Short term is for something that provides instant gratification without needing to work for it, while the long term takes time but in the end it usually provides greater happiness than the short term
