I totally disagree, It is much deeper than your IgBxz21C91PpTQD7o1v5U6ImBuiv/r9T2X/zlmiCaLPHIbp3f6CbXerA. Sometimes you have no choice, sometimes its not about having fun and sometimes its about the human race. Having fun while others are doing something important for the sake of whole is called being selfish and a hypocrite. Based on the fact that we would still be living in stone ages, it would not be considered as having fun- it will be called surviving. Thats what we are doing, surviving while helping or disturbing others to survive too.
Well, actually, no you don't.
You merely have a different way of seeing it.
Enjoyment, or more scientifically; dopamine, is what we live for, pretty much
whatever we do. Someone struggling to survive, say, in a poor country, or in
a war ravaged location, do so in the hopes of one day experiencing joy.
Obviously the threshold of what "joy" is to such people is much lower than
it is for anyone living in a rich country. And sometimes that threshold is so
ridiculously high that it drives many into suicide.
Those working to secure our future, as you put it, does so because they
want to experience the extreme quantity of dopamine that comes with
feeling that you've done something you'll be remembered for.
Those doing drugs merely want a quick way of experiencing the same,
so in a controversial, though still rather correct, way you could say that
a scientist and a drug addict both work toward the same goal. Only with
different "methods" of achieving it.
In the end, it's all about dopamine, and we experience it differently: Some
experience it from helping others, some from scaling large mountains, some
from being liked by many people and some by enjoying a good book. We're
all slaves to the drug that makes us happy, because without happiness
nothing would be worth living for. This is also true in the case of reproduction,
there are
very few "things" in this world that produces more dopamine
than sexual intercourse.
So, you don't disagree. You merely lack the knowledge to have an unbiased
opinion on the matter.
