I never said that I'm asexual.
Let's not make this about me. You may PM me if you want to discuss such private matters, but let's not make it about me here.

Forgive me, just from the tone of your posts made it sound like you identified with them.

Just to be clear, I'm not saying I am not, either. I'm just saying that whether I'm asexual or otherwise is kind of irrelevant.

Well, not really. It does add a tinge of bias to assessments of if they're more rational or not. I'm sure what Dahmer was doing seemed perfectly rational in his mind but to the rest of humanity he was far from it.
I'm not saying you're a psychopath, I'm just saying this is a point I personally would consider and weigh up.

I for one, will fight the good fight against such a fate. I will mount a rearguard action!

In fact let me address that point again. I don't think whether someone's biased or not should affect your judgement of the issues raised by said person. This is just wrong to do, in general. Rather, we should only care about the facts and arguments presented.

Yea, yea, I'm an asshole and a piece of shit, I already knew that.
I mean you're off about them being more rational because they're asexual. I think I get what you'd trying to say, rational isn't the best word for it, but I'd say being asexual alone doesn't mean anything besides being asexual

Fair enough. Ignore my unsuported musings of this kind, if you like, but I would like you to address my suggestion that pleasure in and of itself is more like a device, or a means to an end, at least from nature's perspective, rather than an actual end.

Yep, that's most likely correct. At least I agree
I don't know what else to say. Waffles ._.
