Why is anyone against wireheading? Wireheading sounds great
-
-
personally I see the desire to inscribe one's self into the universe as core to what it is to be human
-
whether by reproduction, education, works, what have you. people who lack this drive may as well not exist
-
so to me the willingness to give up all possibility for external influence is deeply repugnant
-
this attitude is so interesting to me, I do not get it on an intuitive level
-
To me the question boils down to: Is your *purpose* for existing utterly selfish or does it relate to how you impact others? Do you have a duty to make some mark on the world?
-
My answers are 1) there is no purpose in that sense and 2) no
-
I don't see it in terms of duty at all, I think of it as a more profound selfishness
-
creation influence power etc are acts of propagating/extending the self, which I feel an intense urge to do
