Higher pleasures are indeed attainable without destroying the body and/or finances
The pleasure of the plurality of successes strung across the multiple different occasions that they occur is one of the highest forms of entertainment. One might not work their entire life to achieve such an ultimatum, but that is what an outsider could see it as. That perspective is not something I would consider wrong, since the difference in philosophy between a sentient and a nescient is inherently nepotinous; it is passed generation to generation within closed systems. The irony is that an outsider could certainly adopt a philosophy and ascend themselves to a higher order of intellect- to sentience, to absolute consciousness. To let go of primal instincts and carnal desires is to achieve the highest form of intellectual pleasure, to know the truth about humanity and how to increase technological progression while assuming natural selection to let those who are unable to adapt die because of their lesser genetics, as well as their lesser mental fortitude that they weren't willful enough to overcome and ascend to sentience.
tl;dr - False comparison, a sentient is someone who chases higher pleasures instead of fruitless ones(fruitless in this case being debt-filled, rape-accusation-filled, disease-ridden, and the eventual suicide of the nescient)
