Hmm ... I don't get this... Using my body and having feelings, whether
it be fun, sex, sports, olifactory or any other kind of sense I use to
get them, this is what makes me happy. I mean really happy.
Thinking about the world and learning new stuff is good and exciting,
but it doesn't really bring happiness the way using the body does.
And _nothing_ else sets of the feelings the way having children does.
The real fun is in hedonism, not in intellectualism. It is easy to
forget, especially if you, like me, sometimes forget to use the body.
It is going to be really difficult to get us rewired in a sensible way.
