Try and prove me wrong on this...

If my lack of ability to experience pleasure were permanent and there is no way I could do anything to make myself feel more pleasure in life, then they would feel devastated. Intelligence (thoughts and such) are nothing more than mere biological functions such as breathing, movement, etc. But pleasure is your emotional well-being here and is what makes your life worth living (as I argued in my opening post). So for them to feel happier knowing that I am reduced to nothing more than mere biological functions (which would, again, be intelligence and such with no pleasure) than if I were to be retarded and happy would make no sense.

Well why does this matter? If I lived in a world with 2 portals and one portal was like 20 dominant men and Luckie, I would choose that portal. I don't even care what the consequences are, even if a million innocent people had to die. And I don't care what you think of me for it, because it's not real life.


Oh and ShaMan, you had lovely points. You're a smart guy and I always enjoy your posts. I see your point, I just don't see inner peace as some magical portal. I think OP needs to get his head out of the clouds.

Not to mention his entire argument is based on hypotheticals and personal opinions that cannot be measured let alone falsified, and then he ends up with shit like "You can't prove me wrong, therefore it's fact".

Fine, if you're a strict hedonist, then fine. Thanks for sharing dude.

"I like the color blue. It's the best and most important color. If I lost the ability to see blue, you would be devastated for me. If I had a choice between being retarded and being able to experience blue, or being mentally average and NOT being able to perceive blue, I would choose to be retarded. Blue is the most important color. Prove me wrong or it's fact."

It's nonsensical horseshit.
