I don’t think wireheading is “myopic” when it overlaps with self-maintenance. Classic example would be painkillers; they do ~nothing but make you “feel good now” (or at least less bad), but sometimes feeling less bad is necessary to function properly and achieve long-term value. I think that gratitude journaling is also part of this overlap area. That said I don’t know many peoples’ experiences with it so maybe it’s more prone to “abuse” than I expect.
Yeah, I think a question is whether I want to say “that kind of wireheading isn’t mypoic” vs “that isn’t wireheading”. Probably fine eitherway if you’re consistent / taboo adequately.
