Colbert is awesome.
Seriously? Noone? This is a pretty sadistic outlook.
Okay I will tell you what I think...So I think there must be a differnce between satisfaction and pleasure. Satisfaction is what occurs when there is something that we get back. To take your example, hunger you eat and it is satisfied. However, that same eating time can be pleasureable because of what you ate, not that you just ate. For some, the same is true for sex. Depending on what the circumstances, if someone "craves" or "needs" sex then they will be satisfied with a prostitute or someone they do not know. However, sex can be pleasureable (is there anyone that disagrees? except the person that suffers from dyspareunia) when there is that bond of love and marriage.
So you have two things: Satisfaction: a mere filling of a craving, &
Pleasure: a deeper sense of happiness or excitement expected or not expected from something
very good points. But, how come when you're full, you get no pleasure in food? Perhaps because it does not satisfy?
I think it comes from looking at it like this: satisfaction is lower than pleasure. would you agree? So one can be satisfied all their life with mediocrity. However, to have pleasure one must first be satisfied. It is almost like maslow's hierarchy of needs. You must first survive in order to enjoy life.
So your question why is it you get no pleasure from food when you are full? Because the satisfaction and pleasure are from the same stimulus (food) so one is satisfied or already had a pleasureable eating experience cannot go back to that same thing for even satisfaction, probably for physiological reasons.
Do you think there are other things in the world that dont act like this? I am sure there are.
I was just in the bathroom experiencing relief, and I think you're on to something Sean. Perhaps the "pleasure" we feel is a psychological pleasure that coincides with the physiological relief/satisfaction we are feeling?
too much information, but I am glad you put my words into a practical situation
