The question is: is the goal the production of all consciousnesses. or a cross section of all consciousnesses? Is the goal the production of higher level consciousnesses? Is the goal the survival of organisms that will strive to create consciousnesses such as the survival of mankind or the equivalent? Should we just strive for human consciousnesses. Can we experience alien consciousnesses as our own and create them as well? There are consciousnesses that are preferable from a personal perspective. Are these the ones that we should strive for? Can there actually be a max joy directly connected to reality. Or is a max joy have to be produced by an experience machine? If you do not know what you are doing you do not know what max joy is.

What makes people happy varies among people. What is a great experience to one person is not to another. Your conscious perspective defines what makes you happy. Some people find that doing fun things does not make then happy. An experience can be great when you have it but latter when you introspect about it it can seem like an awful experience. For the same person, what is a wonderful experience one day can be an awful experience the next.

I am Max Joy. I am an experiment. I am a person. I am a consciousness. My existence is for the purpose to determine if a person has control of his experiences can he produce the maximum possible enjoyment for his life.

First you have to understand your abilities on how to to control your sensations. If you have completer control of your sensations then you have to spend time figuring what you want to experience next. If some one or thing controls what you experience next how will they know what are the good and bad experiences for you? Some one has to plow through all the different experiences to actually which experiences are good and bad. We should not get too hasty in eliminating experiences because they can be bad experiences. Bad experiences for one person or one time in your life can be a good experience latter or for some else.

Some say that parts of you loose out when we have certain types of experiences. For instance when you are using a drug like heroin your motivation and curiosity can be very different. You may be very happy but part of you is temporarily missing.

The knowledge we gain from others suffering can help future generations not make the same mistakes.
