Oh boy. Unfortunately I will not consider aliens who gain pleasure from staring at walls equals.

An interesting article certainly and you do your position decent credit, (though you left out examples of video games that seem to show how a great deal of people gain much satisfaction from certainly "sadistic pleasures" such as violence and killing,) however as I said above I cannot consider all pleasures equally valuable. I will certainly speed up my article/video of ethical identity which addresses this problem and might even write up a direct response, but I do have an epistemology video in the works already somewhat unfortunately.

Perhaps I can gesture towards my actual counter-argument at least. That would be that I am simply entirely uninterested in a pedophile feeling pleasure from CP, even if such pleasure were experienced in a Matrix in which no children are actually abused. It it not simply "degeneracy", it is pleasure that if we value we stand to lose what makes us Human in the first place.
