Imagine a refined form of lobotomization were possible such that the individual who underwent the treatment would be reduced to an infantile level of IQ. They would retain sufficient intelligence to maintain basic hygiene and preservation, but little beyond that. However, it also resulted in the subject of said procedure receiving enormous pleasure engaging in simple repetitive tasks - such as, for instance, flipping burgers.
I would, in no way whatsoever, be interested in such a procedure and I think it's safe to say that applies to the vast majority. Thus, it must be presumed that the happiness of an individual or a group is not really a measurement of their 'fulfillment' even if it sounds like a reasonable premise in a vacuum.
