I can induce desires in myself. For example, I know if I choose to watch people eat delicious food, I will create a desire for delicious food.

Ok so let me understand your argument. You think it doesn't exist because we evolved to be moral, just like all our other traits have come through evolution? How does us evolving our sense of morality have any relevance towards whether morality is objective? I honestly just don't see the link. We also evolved our ability to reason about mathematics. Does that mean mathematics does not exist? Does that mean the mandelbrot set is only a figment of our imagination?
I'm trying to understand your logic here.

>mfw I realized that the reason I've developed an extremely ironic persona and never take anything seriously is because I'm a coward and terrified of failure/rejection.
Books for this feel?

Anime anon here that challenged others on the ratio of squares question. Turns out I was completely wrong and the problem is indeed quite trivial. Once you have a covering of simple shapes of the circle you can scale them and since each simple shape scales like the square of the length, the area as a whole scales as the square of the radius.
The statement I made about how not all 2d shapes have this property is also wrong. I was thinking of fractals and how they can have fractional dimension but it's not the same as their volume, essentially I was mixing two things. You can look into how fractal dimension is calculated, it's very interesting.
I apologize to the anons I confused and hope this brings some clarity to the topic.
Have a good day.
