Science vs Morality

Citation needed. Since this is a false dichotomy, which wouldn't be the case if this were a scientific statement, I assume you can't provide it.
Quote:If you have less pleasure, that makes you less of a person according to science because who you are is your brain and all of its processes
Citation needed. Since science doesn't define 'personhood', I assume you can't provide it.
Quote: and also the fact that greater is "better" when it comes to science.
Citation needed. Since 'most fit for purpose' is the common scientific standard of 'better' and quantitative value is rarely used in it's place, I assume you can't provide it.
Quote:If, for example, you have a computer that has greater RAM and such than others' computers, then your computer would be better than their computers.
Because greater RAM makes a computer more fit for purpose.
Quote:Therefore, if you have a mind that has greater activity and capabilities, that makes you a better person.
Citation needed. Since this is a false analogy, I assume you can't provide it.
Quote:But as for someone who has greater intelligence than someone who has greater pleasure, the scientific fact is that pleasure is the greatest thing above any function in the brain because our personal experience of this emotion obviously says so (it is a natural conclusion that we make because without pleasure, then you would obviously be completely dead inside and no one would ever want that). You would obviously sacrifice your intelligence and all other areas of your brain if it meant not losing all of your pleasure. And for you to state otherwise would obviously mean you have no comprehension whatsoever of what it would feel like to lose all of your pleasure.
Gibberish. A nonsense of assumptions, faulty premises and half-arsed conclusions.
Quote:Therefore, since pleasure is the greatest function of the brain...
Is it? Really? You haven't provided anything which might demonstrate this.
Quote:...if you have less pleasure, that makes you less of a person regardless of how much activity or capabilities you have in other parts of your brain.
How judgmental of you.

I'm not sure what the purpose of this mischaracterisation is but it fails.
Sum ergo sum
