Imagine a scenario where everyone is hard-wired for bliss while machines maintain their world. Would you say they're all wastes of space? You wouldn't want to live in a world where you everyone else experiences endless bliss?
Sounds like "imagine heaven." I see a problem however - boredom. Can you be happy and bored at the same time? Perhaps the opposite of pleasure isn't pain at all - perhaps it is boredom.
