All people here that think they don't care about anything higher than pleasure haven't thought about it enough. So let me open your eyes.
I forgot the name of this thought experiment but something about pleasure machine.
Basically it proves that we all care about something higher than just pleasure.
So imagine if there was machine that you just plug into your brain. And that machine gives you pure pleasure all the time without stopping. Something you cannot get in this true reality that all others live in. Would you do it even though you would live in shallow lie.
Now if you care about higher meaning and are not selfish already you would say I already knew I would never do it it's obvious I care about doing good in real world.
But if you are other type and care only about selfishness it still proves you care about some higher thing. Which is truth.
Would you really be fine with living as some pathetic vegetable hooked up to machine in your delusional dream totally alone. While others live their life's in real world and have real connections and expirences and sex with others. While you are in your delusional dream hooked up to a machine that feeds you fake pleasure without anyone there alone living some illusion while people out there have real sex with each other.
I think this proves that all of you you care about something higher than just pleasure if you are completely honest. Now it's not black and white ofc pleasure and pain are still key factor but they are just one part of whole picture and are missing most important factor on their own.
All of you if you are completely honest would choose life of a real chad even if it has less pleasure overall than illusion that machine made for pleasure gives you because its not illusion but truth.
