Actually, this leads me to recall an internet debate I'm having with some bint who thinks that fixing psychopathy by reorganising the brain's mechanism for morality won't lead to the moral neutering of mankind and ultimate destruction...Pfft. She is naive...
So yeah, we need crazy people, to immunise us against take over by brain-changing moralistic people...Like Christians...We can't let the Christians get that kinda tech...
You know I'm not even sure if I know what morals are anymore,,,practically speaking. Perhaps because I'm just so undisciplined I do everything on impulse more or less and then just go "huh" when it's wrong and "yay" when it's right.
That in itself is because I'm obsessed with the idea that who you are is fundamentally more important than the choices you make, so I think that if I stop and make well thought out decisions I'm actually contravening my destinty and living a fake life. Which is bullshit but I still think it so hmmm.
I wonder if all morals are taught/learnt by experience or if there are cases where some sort of instinct goes against all that it learned or experienced?

Your relationships so far have been:
-Rather short-termed, and many
-About average
-A few long-termed ones
Uh, where's the option for few and short?
