Deep, Man. Deep.

So last night Krystal, Ben, Jared, and I had this fucking deep ass philisophical discussion. For serious. It went until like 2 AM or something. We talked about things that were so deep that I got shivers sometimes.

Anyway, it stemmed from when Ben and Jared somehow started talking about the war in Iraq. I don't know too much about that, so I kind of shut my mouth. All I know is that I don't like people being killed everyday. But that's a story for another day. Then we all went inside because we were all freezing our balls off (except for Krystal, she froze her boobs off I suppose). But then Jared brought up a new point: should we dispose of people who are weak because of genetic conditions (cancer, etc.). We all decided that that was terrible and completly inhumane but that brought up a newer point: what kidn of a person would do that? Something of pure reason or pure instinct? That led to a even NEWER point: are humans creatures of pure reason or pure instinct?Jared changed his mind a couple of times, but the rest of us were pretty solid in our points: there can never exist a creature of pure instinct or pure reason. We concluded that, really, a creature of pure reason and a creature of pure instinct would, theoretically, act the same way- with no emotion and that both of them would kill the weak portion of the race (humanity). But we came up with an interesting new spectrum:

Now for some explaining. The red represents human emotion. As you can see, humans operate with complete emotions. Now, this may be less apparent in some people (complete assholes, ruthless mod bosses) but if movies have taught me anything, it is this: no matter how much of an asshole you are, deep down inside there is some emotion at play there. Back to the spectrum.I made this a little hastily (it's 1 AM for Christ's sake) but the white represents...um...not emotion. I can't really think of something better, maybe lack of emotion. But as you can see, pure reason and pure instinct act with no emotion, no remorse. But as you get closer to the middle and as instinct as reason begin to mash together and create emotion, humans come along. And so, you can say that humans operate at the perfect combonation of instinct, reason, and emotion and that's why we pwn all other animals.

Now, obviously this all stemmed out of a couple of teenagers talking at 1:30 in the morning so it's probably got some flaws that we've yet to come across. But I think we just may be on to something here.

And that ends the most serious and deep post I've ever written.
