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

so that is your view of happiness
simply desiring stimuli

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

There are no objections to transhumanism without religion

this

the only response to transhumanism is from an idolatry standpoint

i am simply asking questions that lay bare the absurdity of transhumanist propositions
i did not cite religion once
