Here’s one very identifiable point of contention for me. If this quasi-wireheading is all “inwardly” directed (meaning there’s no sensory augmentation inherent in it), then it’s not clear to me why my current experiences should be any more boring than those of loqi[bliss].
Being interested in reality means my old peak experiences still have plenty of information worth recalling. Being interested in reality means I don’t swallow anti-boredom pills unless I anticipate at the very least a net gain in my entanglement with reality.
