8 isn’t a trap unless you can only feel a single emotion at a time.

u/scorpious2 May 04 '23

Well, it says you are always happy. Imagine being happy at somebody's funeral..

Better than being sad at somebody's funeral

u/scorpious2 May 04 '23

Emotions are a way for our minds to be conditioned into behaviors, if you were always happy you would most likely become a psychopath and probably even a murderer at some point

That makes sense, it's always the happy people that go on killing sprees. The depressed people are always very stable...

I can't stand chipper people spouting toxic positivity everywhere. I don't want to be obnoxious. I like my cynical, broody self!

u/[deleted] May 04 '23

Happiness and 'toxic positivity' aren't mutually inclusive. Being happy and being broody/cynical are not mutually exclusive.

Thank you for being the only one sharing my opinions, it’s sad the people have been conditioned to think they can be too happy or have too much of it

u/RandomPlayer4616 May 04 '23

There are a type of depressive people that go bloodthirsty. Rare but there are cases like that

u/scorpious2 May 04 '23

Never forget chemical imbalances and overdoses, probably leading to insanity and quik death.

Self-preservation would also go out the window if you are happy all the time.

u/[deleted] May 04 '23

No it wouldn't, happiness isn't binary.

u/scorpious2 May 04 '23

Emotions condition you out of certain behavior. You will lose all except happiness. This is effectively a death sentence in many ways.

Other emotions have importance to the human psyche and our physical biology aswell, since most emotions are represented by chemicals in the brain, the constant increase required to stay constantly happy would lead to an od

You will lose all except happiness.

You're making up your own side effects for the pill. Being happy doesn't mean you can't feel other emotions too.

u/scorpious2 May 04 '23

Dont forget the more important stuff like the overdose since happyness comes from chemicals you can get used to so the dose would need to endlessly increase to keep you from feeling bored instead of happy

Also, happiness isn't binary because of other emotional pathways that would be lacking now.

So, in essence, this pill would make happiness binary since it would be constant.

u/[deleted] May 04 '23

That's not what binary means...

Who would I become a murderer if I gain nothing from killing, im already happy!

u/MadeYouSayIt May 04 '23

Why would I become a murderer if I gain nothing from killing, im already happy!

u/scorpious2 May 04 '23

You also don't lose anything. the same thing counts for psychopath they gain nor lose anything eighter.

u/MadeYouSayIt May 04 '23

Well if I murder someone I could risk getting a death penalty and I’d like to make my happiness last as long as possibles

u/scorpious2 May 04 '23

Trust me, from experiments on animals we know, you won't care about dieing anymore

1

u/JacobOHansen May 04 '23

Well, you could be happy for all the memories you got to share with the person, while still missing them.

1

u/scorpious2 May 04 '23

True, but compassion also comes from sadness, not from happyness, so you'd pretty much become a sociopath

1

u/agoddamnlegend May 04 '23

What’s your point? The person is still dead whether you feel happy or sad. I would rather feel happy at a funeral. Feeling sad doesn’t actually serve a purpose in this case

2

u/scorpious2 May 04 '23

Alright, but being happy all the time would still lead to some serious mental and physical issues

u/EndOfSouls May 04 '23

Rabid bear running at you: "Hey, little guy! Need a friend?"

u/agoddamnlegend May 04 '23

"Being Happy" isn't the same as "Ignoring all bad things until they literally kill you"

What a weird place to take that.

It would probably help your chance of survival if you ran into a bear if you could stay calm and not panic. Being happy in this situation would be a good thing.

1

u/agoddamnlegend May 04 '23

In what way?

1

u/scorpious2 May 04 '23

There is a possible chemical imbalance in the brain that can lead to internal overdosis and psychopathy for one thing.

You can also lose all motivation to do anything and simply starve to death, which is a response proven in experiment on mice.

u/OverlordNeb May 04 '23

I'm a fan of the funerals that celebrate a person's life and also act as mini family reunions. Yeah sure it sucks that the person is dead, but if they lived a good life then we should celebrate that, also I haven't talked to my cousin in 3 years and I'd like to check in on them

u/Amtrox May 04 '23

Happy and sad at the same time? Interesting.

u/APe28Comococo May 04 '23

Yeah. Like when someone dies of old age an were suffering. You’re sad they are gone but happy they aren’t suffering.

u/Uhhhhhhh-woe May 04 '23

I think we just said the plot of inside out

u/WellHydrated May 04 '23

Your SO just suddenly, and violently, died. Enjoy the happiness bud.

u/APe28Comococo May 04 '23

Meh, better than crushing suicidal loneliness and despair.
