broadening of limitations does not seem to correlate with happiness very well
why is happiness undesirable?
when did i say it was undesirable
I just don't think a pseudopsychological idea is the defining heuristic of benefit
i dont really believe the idea of a hedonic treadmill
you seem to imply that happiness is either meaningless or undesirable
so is benefit just being able to fire lasers out of your eyes?
i cant understand this effort to progress just for progressions sake
also
continuum fallacy
you are not understanding what i am saying
just because happiness is ''pseudopsychological'' does not render it invalid
the hedonic treadmill is pseudopsychological
not happiness
still
vagueness does not mean that it is invalid
the conflicting nature of finding benefit through different inhibitions and levels of chemicals that could be altered at anyone's wish anyway is just that
conflicting
the hedonic treadmill is pointless
dimensionalizing something arbitrary
how is it pointless?
it is applying dimensions to the specific fluctuation of chemicals of a person that is ever changing in its desire for certain stimuli
it is pointless to use this idea to determine benefit
why should benefit be about elevating above a baseline permanently
happiness is no more than a fluctuation of chemicals from stimuli
so you do not believe that there is a cognitive or immaterial part of the mind?
i do not believe in the immaterial
so you believe that your exact personality could be uploaded into a cyborg based purely on your brain chemistry and structure
yes
we could look at identical twins
i am a firm believer substrate-independent existence is possible and inevitable
identical twins do not share the same brain
so you dont want people to have experiences that play a role in the formation in personality
youre being silly now
no
the neuroticism of this discussion is making it unrealistic
not really
what is neurotic about this
the preying on the cynical of an idea that has the capacity to expand everything youre concerned about
preying on the cynical of an idea?
english please
what is the cynical of an idea
im not interested in talking to you anymore
there is a certain threshold of intelligence i can suffer
wahh wahh why wont they debate me
oh not you youre too dumb
