Therefore, this is the reason why it is clearly obvious that life is about me finding my own path in life, my own sense of empowerment and such and not caring about others and their opinions (though I just wanted to at least argue and try to convince people of my own personal views on pleasure), but so far, it doesn't seem to be working.(August 4, 2014 at 4:47 pm)Mozart Link Wrote: 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.
Welp, you got more than just that one post to which to respond. Especially love the part about consciousness being "nothing more" than brain states and chemistry, while "pleasure" is somehow special.
Seriously man, the more you talk the more I think of
