criticism of wireheading often argues it implies the same; if your pleasure is sated, you won't care for others

wire heading implies not doing things for others because you're just doing things to make yourself happy

or that "ethical good" is embedded in our brains' reward system & can be circumvented to achieve "hedonic good"

I think you could be a solipsist or a wireheader and still be aesthetically repulsed by antisocial behavior

I would say insofar as you care about what's going on outside of you're head you're not wire heading

ah well we disagree on definitions then. I think of it as artificially maxing out pleasure, no other assumptions

I don't think you can max out pleasure and leave interacting with other things untouched

I'm skeptical that maxed out pleasure leads to inaction. We assume relationships between motivation and pleasure
