>Listen, Morty, I hate to break it to you, but what people call love is just a chemical reaction that compels animals to breed. It hits hard, Morty, then it slowly fades, leaving you stranded in a failing marriage. I did it. Your parents are gonna do it. Break the cycle, Morty. Rise above. Focus on science.

This is unequivocally true. There's a reason why half of marriages end in divorce.

They hated him because he was too smart.

>>212841888 (OP)
Wow.. I'm. I'm speechless.

>>212841888 (OP)
yes sir, think like a brilliant

>>212841888 (OP)
Unironically true but it's faggy coming from a Justin Roiland or a Dan Harmon type that's using it as an excuse to be fat söychugging porn addict slob. If gigachad said it then it would be based

Was this supposed to make Rick sound retarded, as in that's the joke, or was it meant to be like a "There, I said it!" redpill? Love isn't just about breeding, otherwise why would people love their pets? As a scientist he's ignoring concepts like altruism and eusociality. It doesn't explain why most animals just rape with no courting involved, or why some parents eat their young, or their partners. And even if it's all chemicals, why would that make it less significant. Love doesn't matter because you can explain it? If that's the case then it applies to every motion including his apathy or any motivation he has to do anything, so why not scrutinise that?

That's the Nietzschean dilemma. The only people who embrace this shit tend to be weirdos or child rapists. The "ubermench" tend to be anything but.

>>212842150
It’s true at face value, but it’s meant to reinforce that Rick is a cynical asshole.

>>212842150
>dude nihilism

That's it.

>>212841985
Only since marriage was stripped of its original(and religious) meaning. marriage is a sacred union between a man and a woman with the intention to being children. That should be obvious, but was stripped away under secular society.

how smart would rick be if his dad beat his ass with a belt

Its actually not though, it's blatently false at face value.

>>212842172
The french leftists like foucalt intentionally misinterpreted nietzsche because they viewed his thought as being too dangerous for mankind because of hitler and mussolini and all that

>>212842213
Are you implying Nietzsche is a Nihilist?

>>212842391
What about that is not true

>>212842150
>Love isn't just about breeding, otherwise why would people love their pets?
Same impulse as taking care of children
>As a scientist he's ignoring concepts like altruism and eusociality. It doesn't explain why most animals just rape with no courting involved, or why some parents eat their young, or their partners
Whoa humans form more advanced societies than animals? No scientist has ever considered this before
>And even if it's all chemicals, why would that make it less significant. Love doesn't matter because you can explain it? If that's the case then it applies to every motion including his apathy or any motivation he has to do anything, so why not scrutinise that?
The buddhists realised this without knowing anything about brain chemicals. Once your rational mind realizes and truly believes all desire is an illusion created by your chemical junkie monkeybrain you can see right through it and achieve enlightenment

Except he didn't do it since his wife died before he could even get that far kek

I don’t understand how acknowledging neurochemistry someone rationalizes nihilism to these people. That is an absurdly reductionist outlook that fails completely at seeing the system in its entirety. It is inevitably adopted by losers who, despite knowing that everything is “just” vibrational energy, are slaves to their appetites and lack discipline to even take care of their physical self let alone higher order needs and aspirations.

In a physical world emotions and ideals are translated by physical means and this doesn’t make it any less significant. What, because something isn’t outright magic (which they would reject) means it doesn’t matter to these people? It’s such a defeatist, miserable, self-loathing abject way of living. You just know the majority are on SSRIs because “better living through chemistry”

Yep, exactly, not just a compulsion to breed but also to care about other people.

Buddhists think they can suppress ego by piling a different type of ego on top of it. There is no further enlightenment that you haven't already achieved by virtue of being born sentient, there's just more and less awareness of it. Nothing to do with what Rick said.

Everything is a fucking chemical reaction, bravo Nolan.

>And by science, I mean date rape the girl you want to fuck until you get bored of her Morty. That's what I did to your Grandma after all!

>>212842222
Only since marriage was stripped of its original (and religious) meaning. A form of sex slavery where you trade a goat for a 10 year old girl to fuck. If you can't afford one, just rape one and you get to keep it. Marriage is a sacred union between a man and another man whose daughter you want to buy. They should be obvious, but was stripped away under secular society.

You're not supposed to ask this question.

It's just to establish Rick as a depressed, nihilistic guy. Science is how he copes with his failed family and he's just telling Morty to skip all the failure and go directly to the cope. He would often give this kind of "advice" to the family while leaving out all the context, like when he tells Summer to get over religion, not because religion is necessarily bad, but because he's so burned out by the multiverse's chaos he doesn't think God matters even if he did show up one day.

>>212843951
There was an episode where Rick says that the christian god is real and he's gonna go kill him. But he was a decoy, so who knows.

I literally said a variation of this to my family when I was an edgy teenager and they basically just called me a retard
