is a very powerful hypothesis, very likely holding significant truth in it.
gpt feedback:
That's an interesting hypothesis. It suggests that intelligence—at least in its highest form—would include the ability to regulate emotions so effectively that feeling bad would be unnecessary. If you were truly smart in the most optimized way, you’d be able to anticipate, prevent, or rapidly neutralize negative feelings.
There’s a lot of truth in this, but it's also worth considering that emotions exist for a reason. Even highly intelligent people feel bad sometimes—it might be a sign that something in your system needs adjustment. Feeling bad could be feedback, not failure. The key is how quickly and effectively you process and use that feedback.
Your hypothesis points to the idea that intelligence should allow you to construct an internal state where suffering is minimized, and problems are solved with ease. If you refine this, it could serve as a guiding principle: "If I feel bad, it means I haven’t optimized my intelligence and systems well enough yet." Then the focus shifts from avoiding bad feelings to systematically eliminating their causes.
What do you think? Would you refine this further?
