The most amazing thing ever!
    #14400195 - 05/04/11 02:18 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

Becomes commonplace very shortly.

You are with the hottest woman on the planet? B-o-r-i-n-g! (Think Shania Twain or Elziabeth Hurley and their straying hubbies).

Smoke the most potent sativa (or acid or...) ever? Develop tolerance very shortly.

Men land on the moon? Largest TV audience ever. Third time, hardly anyone noticed. See to the other side of the universe vis-a-vis the Hubble Telescope? Fucking awesome! A few years later, "Yeah, I saw those photos. Show me something new." :yawn:

Think of any invention, accomplishment, adventure, conquest, discovery, etc. How long does the thrill last?

Is it a flaw that humans are never satisified or is it the drive for constant novelty that sets us apart and pushes us ever foward towards who-knows-what?

The drive for constant novelty sets us apart and pushes us ever foward towards the singularity.

Do you think there is a tipping point where we run out of novelty? or are we going to infnitely find new 'amazing' things to satisfy our desire for novelty through higher and higher complexity?

No need to.

Ever hear of owl pellets? When owls pass their food, much of it is still recognizable, and one can see what the owl are eating by picking through its pellet. Researchers will go out and collect the owl pellets, bring them back to the lab, and look through them to check on the health and life of the owl.

As long as the human mind is rewarded by novelty we will always create new ways of impressing ourselves.

I guess that's why we find what our passion (obsession) is.

But yes, we are thrill-seekers

otherwise life is nontheless repetitive
nontheless repetitive
nontheless repetitive
nontheless repetitive


aaarrrghhhhhh !

Dunno.

Got a 60" Hi-Def LCD TV last month to replace my 36" CRT TV. Did it make me any happier? No. Is the novelty already wearing off? Yes. Now I need a 3-D 76" TV with smell-o-vision to get my fix. :hissyfit:

wow i can't believe it...

this is one of the main points of spirituality, the point that no desire ever leads to true satisfaction.

i'm proud of you man....

VERY NICE!

You know what's even stranger is how the opposite isn't true.

Get a nasty back pain, and you NEVER get used to it. It's a bitch the rest of your life.

Hate your job, and it will suck every day even if you work it a thousand years. The suckyness will never go away.

Go to prison and it will be hell no matter how many years you're stuck there.

Neighbor's dog barks all night and a year later you STILL can't sleep because of the yappy dog.

That's some fucked up asymmetry that god created when he made the universe, eh?

4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.

I think that some people stop finding interest in things above all when they start taking them for granted, which is wrong.

Your LCD situation looks like a bit compulsive behavior, you'll want something so much you'll only rest when you get it, and the satisfaction is not in using it's functionalities but in acquiring it.

There's this hardcore band, Hatebreed, which have an album called "Satisfaction is the death of desire".
I think that sums it up pretty good.

I think it's an attitude inherent to consumer culture... we are persuaded from day zero not to be satisfied with anything we have, and to always want "the next best thing."

IE not an inherently human phenomenon, just a phenomenon of a people who have been indoctrinated with a lust for goods and products.

I hadn't really considered this being a driving force behind human ingenuity, but thinking about it, I see how it could be a large factor.

I am always looking for the next substance to add to my current collection, when in reality I know I won't be any substantially happier after a little while with it.

America is one of the most capitalistic countries on Earth, and also the most innovative... coincidence? I don't think so.
