"A) Activated pleasure centers do not a logical motivator make.

They sure can be.

<>"B) Who's talking about causes? I'm asking why you choose to make your decisions based on enjoyment."

I didn't say I based them on enjoyment. I said I get up, because I value life and that a sufficient reason for that is, becuase I enjoy it.

"What is the logic behind living for enjoyment?"

Logic is a process, not a philosophy.

"If it feels good, do it? You know this is not logic."

Apparently you didn't comprehend my last post.

Re: Everything can be known by observation and reason.

" Except perhaps why you got out of be this morning?"

You just don't like my answer.

"What's the real reason - or is it that underneath all the reasoning, there is something else?"

There is nothing else that isn't encompassed by love of life.

Congratulations, you have made it to the level of Crustacea.

I said I get up, because I value life…

And I asked in Q6: Why is life better than no life?

Do you assume this, accept it based on authority, accept it without examination or do you have reason/logic for it.

Please remember your initial assertion: You base all you choices and decisions solely on logic/reason - especially the important ones. What is the logic that supports this one?

Logic is a process, not a philosophy.

Your stated philososophy (above) is called rationalism. We're demonstrating that you cannot, or thus far will not, apply it to your life.
