lol. You take an extreme outlier and discard THE essential human experience and biological imperative. Good luck with the cats, man.

yes, because the point was it isn't a universal truth. there are a lot of parents that dont give a shite about their kids, look at all the absentee fathers.
You act as if its a biological imperative, it isn't. it's a chemical attachment formed in the brain, just like love with a SO. if you adopt a son, there is no genetic attachment, but if you raise it every day an attachment will form.
maybe seth rogan would make a great, loving parent, and it would fulfill him in a way that nothing else ever has or could... it appears he isn't sure and never wants to find out.

Penrod my brother, these guys are taking my comments personally. I have to say I’m surprised at the depths of the hopelessness.Its really depressing that the idea of beauty and serendipity and magic that parents can give to their children
Are you and Penrod longtime companions, or life partners ? Because that sounds SUPER gay .

Ahhh, a nonsensical materialist reduction that seeks to redefine everything we know about humanity . Thousands of years of human knowledge and philosophy wiped out by a pseudo intellectual who hasn’t quite mastered the art of making his own bed. That’s new and different. Now tell me about how we aren’t actually human beings with a specific nature , but rather a collection of molecules …

talking about maturity when you are the only one resorting to name-calling in this entire comment chain. that's rich.

So, the only acting he did in Knocked Up was about the last 10 minutes of the film?
He was able to get Katherine Heigl pregnant, so I respect him for that. But most of his films were just cliche stoner movies with no character arch at all. He basically played himself in all of those films and just stopped acting altogether when the stoner film genre died off.

Nope. It’s about the depth of the emotional experience. Having children, mentoring them, loving them, being there reliably every day is not the same as doing life solo. It’s just not. Removing yourself from the center of your own life for 20 years is a remarkable thing, the selflessness of it creates MEANING that one can not get by spending a life gratifying one’s needs first.
Look I know people extremely well that have chosen that path or had it chosen for them and I do not devalue them as human beings in any way, but I also see how alone they are when the chips are down. I also see how they do have trouble with a myriad of things that someone who has enjoyed the full richness of being responsible for the lives of others FIRST provides. They just haven’t experienced the FULL range of human experience that being a parent provides.
My breakfast with my oldest daughter was wonderful by the way. It was wonderful to offer her advise on her post graduate life. I look forward to seeing the other two this weekend, along with my “ adopted son” who will likely be stoned lol. It’s a lot different than visiting friends. It just is. It has a MEANING that surpasses “ smoking weed”.
This entire post showcases it was all about you, so you are just Seth Rogen, just with children as your trophies, instead of his creative works.

5 minutes of looking at his twitter will show you he is not psyched all the time. Guy is an unhinged basket case prob from smoking weed 24/7 for the last 25 years.

No Rogan-knob-slobber, it was and is about the children, now adults. Creating a childhood for them that equips and fortifies them and makes them strong for the difficulties of life. The trophy comment is hilarious since rejecting that and helicopter parenting bullshite, was the entire intentional point of how we parented. We focused on character and not achievement and found that the latter naturally follows the former. But I can see how if you've never had kids, have a pound of ragweed under your bed, haven't had physical contact with a woman since that time you picked up a hooker off Plank Road, spend your paycheck on Only Fans, have zero possibility of ever having/loving/nurturing children, and still somehow think you are living the life, you might think so.

I think overall the topic of the thread isn’t *that* challenging but we are struggling with it a lot in society
There are certain biological drivers, such as reproduction, that should be on the agenda for the overwhelming majority but not everyone. To talk about putting aside the short term hedonistic fun and invest in your meaningful human experience is an incredibly valuable conversation to have, without pretending that it’s the proper choice for 100% of people. None of us know Seth and his situation in a way where we can truly comment in his decision, but many of us know the joy (and struggles) of fatherhood, and building a family.
For some reason we live out in the extremes and either beat up the people that are the exceptions, or from the other side we demonize the idea that there are those General rules of life

I agree with that. I default towards the essential building block of humanity, which is the family unit. It has a higher value. That doesn’t mean that living a life of SELF can’t be exciting and in Seth’s case , creative; but it is almost always going to be less meaningful than nurturing, loving and raising children to pass those same values and ideas on to future generations,
I’m having breakfast with my elderly father in a few hours and I wish everyone had that. It is amazing to sit with someone so accomplished and so brilliant and loving and reflect on how that connection has fortified me. Things came easy to me because he gave me the roadmap. That’s what good parents do. Seth’s Dad might have told him he could be both creative and know the sacrificial joy of raising children. And I wouldn’t be surprised if someone as affable as Seth makes that choice to be a late Dad five years from now. Age tends to have that effect on people, because it’s a very strong tug and has a moral component that is enticing to virtuous people.

Happy to say that I have no idea who this loser is.

No need to double down, your entire list of accomplishments is having children, something that is a common trait in our biology. Saying you did a good job doing it is being proud of doing something you were supposed to do. Have an orange slice and a cookie. But to act like that makes you somehow better shows the low bar that you have chosen to be your gold medal. And that is if you didn't actually raise bad people, but you won't accept it.

We are discussing the value of meaning we gain from our relationship with our children compared against the value and meaning of getting stoned in bed. We aren’t talking about larger accomplishments, of which I , and I assume you, have many.
I am very proud of “ doing what I was supposed to do”. But that was not my point, nor what I discussed. What I discussed is the full range of the human experience and the MEANING it provides. And that meaning we gain or do not gain , imho, is the entire point of life; not happiness ( which is fleeting) or avoidance of suffering ( impossible) but finding the meaning in our lives. What is this thrill-tragedy ride about ? What does it mean?
As far as “ makes me better “ I think we have arrived at your issue and it comes across as unnecessarily defensive . This is your term, your simplification, your straw man. I speak of meaning. And that is one “ gold medal “ that I gratefully accept and place in a higher spot than my “ gold medals” for other professional or personal accomplishments.

So I don't have to sift through nine pages of posts, can you explain why you give a shite if Seth Rogan has children or not? The guy is a neurotic mess & would undoubtedly be a terrible father & role model.
Posted on 3/9/24 at 1:42 pm to AlterDWI
Agreed. Making a larger philosophical point about what gives human beings a sense of purpose and meaning which enraged Rogan fanboys and lonely male spinsters.
