I wouldn’t take it. I desire to help others, and it gives me pleasure to do so, it makes me suffer to harm others, and I desire not to do so.
Being perpetually in a state of extreme pleasure would make this pleasure/suffering irrelevant, and might lead me to behave less in line with my desires.
So, being perpetually in a state of extreme pleasure seems like a bad idea to me.
I agree with you completely. I can understand why others might not agree with me, but for me, pleasure isn’t so much a goal as a result of accomplishing my goals.
