Yep. I've never shot up any drug, I've done a few including heroin(via snorting), but they say the first time you shoot up is the best and you'll never be able to get that high again. I'm past that stage in my life where I was using drugs though, but damn opiates were the best. Killed your sex drive though.

Contra utilitarian philosophy, I'm not so sure that all pleasures are directly comparable. Aesthetic, intellectual and "carnal" pleasures are quite different. I think that ideally you'd want some of each without trading off all of one for more of another.

The highest pleasure a frog can experience is being the best frog that it can be.

Therefore, the highest pleasure a human can experience is being the best human that it can be.

But what constitutes being a good human?

Well, being good at something means excelling in a specific area that differentiates one from others. For example, a good drummer would be better at playing drums than those who do not play drums.

So what differentiates humans from other beings? Answer: They possess souls or whatever you want to call it. So to experience the highest pleasure for a human would be to exercise their souls to the fullest extent. To exercise the soul is to be moral.

The highest pleasure a human can experience is to live a moral life.

Too bad morals are predetermined by societal boundaries.

Beyond not being convinced that all pleasures are comparable, I'm also not convinced that maximal activation of the "pleasure centers" would actually produce the best kind of pleasure. Why should this be so? Just because they are called the "pleasure centers?" That's some grade A semantic horse shit right there - completely circular.

To me, a pleasure that you can connect with on an intellectual level is more fulfilling than such an exogenously produced sensation could be.

Sucks that it's true. Death is probably the greatest experience because we can't fucking explain it to each other.

Best feelings are ones of relief after epic lengths of despair (like finding water in a desert when you're about to die). Sex is meh in comparison.

I once got mad high with my boyfriend. We sat on the couch cuddling, him stroking my hair, watching Carl Sagan's Cosmos.
Just sitting there in the middle of the night, holding him, and feeling his warmth, listening to the soothing voice of Carl Sagan saying the most inspiring things in the world, utterly at peace, relaxed, and loved, drifting off to blissful half-sleep.
