    THE HEDONISTIC IMPERATIVE
    Heaven on Earth?

    "...for ultimately the real intellectual challenge won't lie in pure happiness-maximisation. After all, if eternal hedonism were the sole objective, then a rat with electrodes fixed in its pleasure-centres already points the way forward. In fact, our descendants may find generating generic states of life-long happiness per se trivially easy. The hard task is working out how to re-encephalise emotions in ways that serve us and not selfish DNA. In generations to come, a primary focus of neuroscientific mind-making will be on remapping the axonal and dendritic arborisation of the neo-cortex. The aim of this rational redesign will be to bootstrap our way into fulfilling our second-order desires for who and what we want to become..."

    well... like people says

    "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"

    the same apply for Happiness.

    in which case the last part about fulfilling one selfs Goals is the only real archievment for real happiness, and not the Mentally controlled DNA induced ones.

    so all that **** is worthless.

    not mind boggling at all

    I know it's a strech, but I think I may have got a whiff of him all the way over here in Colombia. He's got enough gas to float the Hindenburg....
