Empathy for one. In the absence of empathy, if the amount of energy takes for you to get me to do a thing supersedes the amount of energy required for the thing to be done then it wouldn't be practical for you to make me do the thing. Additionally, my awareness of my own mortality makes it impossible for me to be perpetually made to do thing because I can always just kill myself. It incentivizes harming you and the things you care about. It gives your enemies a de-facto ally. But it's intriguing that you think that there is only one reason...
JeerpJoop "If I can make you do what I want and get away with it, why should I not?"
Hym "Well, for starters, there's more than one reason. Secondly, you literally can't. You can only leverage (either) my desire to live against performing the act OR the hope that I may not have to continue doing it indefinitely. Which is how you get people to stay in your suffering cult. You leverage their desire to live and their hope that their suffering will end to get them to do what you want or behave how you want to behave. It's actually kind of illuminating to because if you're God rewards screwing people over then is it not evil? Sounds evil. It ties back into you not actually believing in God but rather believing that God is on your side and that it will forgive you if you do the opposite of what it said."

Get the If I can make you do what I want and get away with it, why should I not?mug. All that matters is what I think. So, I'm going to get people think what I think and then... By making shit up. I spoke to the creature!
Hym " It doesn't matter what other people think' is probably the most solipsistic thought you can have. I need a theory name for my solipsism thing... OH! Religious blight theory. That'll be what it's called. Until they think you're a pedophile. Until they think they can get away with robbing you. Until they murder your kids. And then that will be the only then that matters."

Get the what the ligmamug. They should have done what they did.... UP UNTIL they abandoned all of the practices that supposedly made them "The most moral military on the planet." It's at THAT POINT that their response became inappropriate. It's ridiculous that we're just expected to allow them to violate the international rules of war (which they ADMIT TO DOING because "Hamas is using the rules of war against us!"), we need to overlook all of the "oopies" (OoOoO Gehfoigal! We bombed the aid truck! Oops!), and we pretend that (if they succeed in eliminating Hamas) they aren't going install their own puppet regime to deny Palestinians their self-determination, indefinitely. Which they are. That is clearly the plan. They're going to take that natural gas too.

Iam, "That 'egoless' nonsense about the dying patients is just 'compartmentalization.' There's a term for it. I used to talk about it. I used to talk about people's inability to do it. It's not, like, a profound Yogi Hindu magical mind tactic. It's like a regular thing doctors should be able to do. But then he mythologizes it and it's like... This is why the therapy doesn't work."
