>Maximal net pleasure is the goal
Someday you will learn that no amount of pleasure will ever make you happy.

Sure, you get your fleeting satisfaction when you receive your paycheck from your middle-class job, or when you buy your newly released vehicle that'll drag you that job day after day, but does that really bring you any closer towards fulfillment? Does it really serve anything to fill that emptiness within yourself that drives you to do these things in the first place, or is that part of the vapid reward-seeking mentality you've deluded yourself into believing is the ultimate path to fulfillment?

You can run your rat race until the day you wither away, but you will never become anything more than an animal on someone else's leash. Your rabid hedonism is what makes you so easy to manipulate and predict, and that's why it was planted in your mind in the first place.
