When you are older will the fun still matter? What if you forget about the fun, or misremember it? Do you compare the fun you have to the fun enjoyed by others? What if, in a momentary lapse of misery, you covetously glimpse another, laughing gleefully or chortling with mirth, caressing their female (not gay) companion affectionately, are they sneering secretly at your misfortune? Do you parameterise your fun, in the form of
max U = (integral 0 to infinity) (e^(-rho-n)*t)* (c^(1-theta)-1)/(1-theta)dt
such that you experience constant intertemporal elasticity in your consumption of fun? If you have not done this how can you quantify or be assured that your hedonism is adequate, or that you have even experienced any fun at all? What if your fun causes SUFFERING onto others? Are you a sadist? (bdsm yay) How can you even have fun, knowing that somewhere in the world, others are suffering? What sort of a cruel, unfeeling monster are you? Should monsters be allowed to have fun? Or should they just growl-whimper-slobber in envious denial? Can you be tricked into having fun, at the expense of virtue, or regret afterwards? If you think about fun does it cease to exist? Can fun actually cause displeasure simultaneously as it entertains you? What if you can only have fun alongside misery? Are you a masochist? Is that gay? Is enjoyment of anything the beginning of weakness? Is the acknowledgment of fun a frivolity, a trivialisation? Where does fun reside in consciousness? Can a machine have fun? Where does the fun go, after we die? ...
All of these questions could be explored by making games
