It seems to me that I value both my internal world and the external world. I enjoy fiction, but the prospect of spending the rest of my life with nothing else fails to thrill me.
A lot of people express scepticism of this claim, usually acting as if there is a great burden of proof required to show the external part is even possible. My point is that the external part is both possible and unsurprising.
So my argument against wire heading goes; I don’t feel like I want to be a wirehead, the vast majority of minds in general don’t want to become wireheads, low prior + no evidence = “why has this even been promoted to my attention?”
