If that's what you're saying, then I completely disagree with you.
This is what I'm saying and if you think otherwise, please prove the arguments I made here backing that up wrong.

Lolwut? How can I prove your opinion wrong?
I disagree with you because I place value on different things than you do.
In my world view, a person who is completely happy and has all the pleasures they want, but does nothing has very little value.

I clearly stated that if I have chosen to instead be intelligent and have no pleasure, that would devastate my family and that it would be far better for them knowing that I am happy even if their lives were very difficult in having to take care of me if I were retarded and all happy. And why wouldn't they feel this way and feel devastated knowing that my emotional well-being (my pleasure) is all gone despite the fact that I am intelligent and such?

These things I'm saying here are not excuses--they are facts and unless you can disprove them, they will forever remain as facts.

The thing is, what you're talking about is make believe. You cannot have facts about something that is make believe.
I'm not really interested in how your family would be devastated in a fake world. In the real world you're only as happy as you want to be. If you want to be happy then go out and be happy. Do whatever it takes. Fight for what you want. Life is hard and no one else is going to take care of you.
