The problem is we've stopped asking ourselves what it is that we value. What are our goals? If it's maximum pleasure we could just create a VR world with heroin, a catheter, and a bedpan. Go on a soma holiday whenever we wanted. But we don't want maximum pleasure, only our hindbrain does, and we are letting ourselves be led around by it for the profit of others.
