People who chase pleasure bore me

Most people are living in a brave new world pleasure prison.

What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy. As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny "failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions."

In 1984, Huxley added, "people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell feared that what we hate will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we love will ruin us"

You're obviously fun

so you like pain? 🤔

Yikes! Pretty harsh. I’m sorry you don’t have anything that moves you enough to find joy in

It has its place but shouldn't be the main objective in life... More like the desert after the mains 🤗

Depends on the pleasure I suppose. Some people like working in the field all day. Some like reading, others love nature and the outdoors. Some just want to drink and dance be vain about their looks, their possessions. Some pleasures indicate a shallow and simple mind, a reptile mentality that knows only jungle law.

Well obviously i can't expect every second to be a dopamine rush, but i think i try to make good decisions for my life that will bring me joyous and happy memories.

I study, exercise and eat good food personally for pleasure. Same when I work at my job or gossip about toxic coworker. It's a shame I'd bore you.

So people that run away from pleasure excite you?

Is that your kink?

Bore is a weak word, I think 'drain' is more appropriate.

We can definitely be friends

People who chase boars pleasure me.

Some people call that living.

The downside of clout chasing

You would have liked my dad.

Mah dopamine rush…

You're not wrong

So people who only seek love have cancer in the brain?

Dopamine is a big thing, but all depends what they get it from.

Some invest in cheap outlets while others get their dopamine from constructive work that reaps a lot of benefits.

What else do you chase?

So I can’t go seeking my wine and chocolate at the supermarket?

Really? So you're saying discipline is not your pleasure?

I mean... It is nice to do things you enjoy,

But balance is key

Why would you not want a pleasurable life?

You hate sensualists and hedonists? Geez.

God my cancer must be defective

So then seeking pain is your thing?

It's not going to find you on it's own

That's weird

What do you think this place is ?😏

We all do it, to different dgerees and derive it from different things.
•Why do nurses become nurses ? - they enjoy the feeling if helping people.
•Why do teachers teach ?
•Why do kids play?

•why do we come here ?

Our brains are hard wired for pleasure seeking. We do it in the way we eat, the way we dress....who we choose to talk to....even how we choose to talk.

Nearly everyone has an addiction to something these days: extra time we put to pointless activities that give us pleasure, but are non productive 🤷‍♀

I suppose its more about if we can have a positive impact with it, than a negative one 🤔
