[quote=So Boerd]So basically the middle class itself was irrational. Alright.Why? I am a sack of chemicals capable of providing no benefit to you.Suppose there was a system which could provide greater security, positive chemical stimuli in the brain (I don't believe in happiness, I believe in science), etc which explicitly rejected human rights and afforded you none. Would you want to live in such a system?[/quote]

I could also get more happiness and security by constantly dosing myself with drugs and locking myself inside a vault.

But if we did that nothing would be accomplished, we'd never advance and humanity would soon cease to exist.
