If you have less pleasure, that makes you less of a person according to science because who you are is your brain and all of its processes and also the fact that greater is "better" when it comes to science. If, for example, you have a computer that has greater RAM and such than others' computers, then your computer would be better than their computers. Therefore, if you have a mind that has greater activity and capabilities, that makes you a better person. But as for someone who has greater intelligence than someone who has greater pleasure, the scientific fact is that pleasure is the greatest thing above any function in the brain because our personal experience of this emotion obviously says so (it is a natural conclusion that we make because without pleasure, then you would obviously be completely dead inside and no one would ever want that). You would obviously sacrifice your intelligence and all other areas of your brain if it meant not losing all of your pleasure. And for you to state otherwise would obviously mean you have no comprehension whatsoever of what it would feel like to lose all of your pleasure.
Therefore, since pleasure is the greatest function of the brain, if you have less pleasure, that makes you less of a person regardless of how much activity or capabilities you have in other parts of your brain.
Rubbish. I'm sure a wealthy serial killer gets an immense amount of pleasure from his hobbies, does that make him 'a better person' than the depressed, humble woman who volunteers at her local rape crisis centre?
You claim that the nonsense you posted is a 'scientific fact'. Could you possibly link to some articles in peer-reviewed journals supporting the contention that '... people who have all the pleasure in the world with a sense of superiority are better people than those who are depressed and humble' ?
I'll save you the trouble - you can't.
