- Pharmaceuticals: Direct dopamine agonists (e.g., amphetamines, next-gen “wonder drugs”) can induce pleasure without action, but cause tolerance and addiction.
- Deep brain stimulation (DBS): The “pleasure center” (nucleus accumbens) can be stimulated remotely. Animal studies show rats will starve themselves for continuous stimulation—a “full” state is lethal.
- Virtual reality and brain-computer interfaces: Fully immersive, indistinguishable simulations could offer any hedonic experience. Early thought experiments (Nozick’s experience machine, 1974) show most people reject it because they want real achievements, not just the feeling of them.
