I’ve had vicodin and china white and sometimes indulge in an oxy. They’re quite good, but it hasn’t really changed my views on morality. Despite my opiate experience, I’m much less utilitarian than the typical EA.
Interesting. Well, if opiates simply aren’t that pleasurable, then it doesn’t say anything about utilitarianism either way. If people experienced things which were really pleasurable but still felt like it would be bad to keep experiencing it, that would be a strike against utilitarianism. If people experienced total pleasure and preferred sticking with it after total reflection and introspection, then that would be a point in favor of utilitarianism.

My point was that opiates are extremely pleasurable but I wouldn’t want to experience them all the time, even with no consequences. Just sometimes.
