celebrity culture as it exists today is weak and feeble because the consumer has to do all the heavy lifting of substituting the celebrity's experiences for their own instead of having them technologically injected directly into their brainhttps://twitter.com/john_heathen/status/1164238671907872768 …

Maybe laws will be passed to prevent excessive wireheading if life gets really miserable because people have to work.

If automation really does make most work redundant, leisure societies be pain societies because wireheading celebs is exposing to a lot of pain

Also, the hedonic treadmill will put an upper limit on the amount of pleasure you want to experience

i mean... it will certainly put an upper limit on the amount of pleasure it'd be a good idea to experience, but won't people just turn the dial to 11 and be all "who could have guessed" when ordinary experience is unbearable agony afterward?

I mean, automation rarely makes work redundant, just the people....I think leisure societies are theoretically possible, but given climate change and current population levels, not unless we survive/global population stabilizes.
