David Pearce - Paradise Engineering: A Non-Trivial Pursuit of Happiness

Paradise Engineering is non-trivial for a couple of reasons:
a) the pursuit of this vision of happiness is not trivial – it is likely to be a very challenging endeavor
b) the aim is to achieve non-trivial modes of happiness, kinds of information-sensitive gradients of bliss

Imagine the best experience possible – it would be lower than tomorrows floor.

The Hedonistic Imperative outlines how genetic engineering and nanotechnology will abolish suffering in all sentient life.

The abolitionist project is hugely ambitious but technically feasible. It is also instrumentally rational and morally urgent. The metabolic pathways of pain and malaise evolved because they served the fitness of our genes in the ancestral environment. They will be replaced by a different sort of neural architecture – a motivational system based on heritable gradients of bliss.
