Thank you for pointing out the recurrent threat of empiric stupidity in these sorts of matters, namely the guiding empiricist assumption in this case that an empirical determination of our desires by outside instrumentation is going to result in an improvement to human affairs. We cannot overlook the way scientific empiricism can sometimes make people stupider at affairs requiring developed skill at reflective judgment.
