I'm not even American though, lol

I cannot possibly revert to Lucanus' sweet sophomoric writing style, wherein I would retrogress to the brain-dead 'this' and 'that' style, which, at the level of considerations I am describing, really does leave the reader out in the cold.
Oh no! Demonstrative pronouns! The horror! Truly a poison for the mind

"Cerebroanastomosis". With an "o". If even it existed. Which it doesn't. You just like to stroke your e-peen with big words you don't even know the meaning of, and imitating the syntax of long dead people.

Don't you guys realize I have precisely been attempting to do precisely so for a very very long time now; --- to reduce all this heavy shit into plain ordinary language. I cannot do it. I have not done it. I think it is because I have crawled up out of the cave into the light and have been so long dazzled by the light that, unfortunately, blinded, I have forgotten and lost the language requisite to,and efficient for,communicating with other, informal, beautiful persons...Perhaps with your ongoing help I can do so.
And I truly hope you eventually do, but in the meantime, try to be less of a pompous asshole, please?

In my last post I was merely demonstrating how easy it is to express the same concept in a simple way. Again, this is not an academic venue: I don't care about the philosophical jargon, I'm a biologist. I simply want to understand what you are saying, and it pains me to no end when I see how much your "semanticalities" (to quote Xavier:Renegade Angel) hold you back.
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."
