If our brains are wired for delusion, then it's going to be difficult for you to squeeze our brains emotional response out of your own criticisms. You believe that you are somehow free of a deluding mechanism. You aren't. Unless you're free of the brain you've described -as- this deluding mechanism......which, I doubt, but it's a notion I'd entertain after reading your posts. You may be special....but not in the way you think you are.
Again we find your own blindness, and your own delusions, as the source of your stated position.
One last thing here. There are many organisms out there who do not have euphoric and dysphoric states. Yet, they choose to make the best of their lives and help others of their kind. According to my own personal worldview, this means that they are living their lives by this delusional mechanism. In other words, they are just living out the motions and nothing more without even realizing it. They have no real good value, joy, beauty, love, bad value, etc. in their lives.
