Also how do you know that an infinite area contains infinite different things? It could easily just be the same thing over and over an infinite amount of times.

No part of the definition of happiness requires it to be an ongoing feeling that lasts for a significant amount of time. If you are happy even for a single instant, you were still happy for some amount of time.

Money can buy me, and I am happiness.

Can't be assed to read the entire thread. But I must say, Money can buy happiness, to an extent. Like, I could buy myself a bunch of things I always wanted to make me happy for a time, but eventually I would grow bored of those things, buy new ones, it's a cycle basically.

Yes, man bro, you aren't noob at all.

LOL, so the hate route it is!!! this ought to be fun!!!

Quote from Fusion

That's the laziest fucking explanation I've ever heard.

Lazy, yes, I didnt have much time.
So if you want, I will refine it (see end of thread)
furthermore, it is deductive, so you cannot say it doesnt work if you agree with each of the premises, and furthermore, I believe you will agree with the prremises of my refined version (see below)

Quote from Jutsu

I uhhh, I agree, I won't even justify it with a retort of any variety.

AKA: you can't think of one, and dont want to admit defeat


Now, is this less "lazy" for you?
REFINED ARGUMENT:
Premise 1) Time is infinite
premise 2) an infinite number of events will occur
premise 3) if an infinite number of events occur, at some time or other every logically possible event will take place
premise 4) Money making you happy is logically possible
conclusion1) money making someone happy has happened
conclusion2) therefore money can make you happy

That better?
it is a deductive argument, so unless you can falsify at least one premise, you cannot deny the argument.

So, please, tell me which premises you agree with, and which ones you are going to attack.

So far, fusion has attacked premise 3, with this basic argument:
"if an infinite number of events occur, it could easily just be the same event occuring over and over an infinite amount of times, rathe rthan every event occuring once"

To this I say that you are partially right: in fact: every possible event will occur an infinite number of times, over and over.

it is mathematically proven that no matter how unlikley something is, in an infinite situation, it will occur an infinite number of times. It's a philisoophical truth, if you dont accept that, it's your business. it's hard to put down in words, but I thin that if you look at it logically, you will agree with me.
I will consult with my philosophy teacher, and give you the proof tommorow.

for now, tell me which premises you disagree with, otherwise the argument still stands.

I like me a big American man. You be mine big boi?

Money can make you happy, but it is not guaranteed 100% to do so. People who care more about personal things, like love and friendship,rather than materialistic things has the most chances of not being happy from money.
