Meth, Heroin, Cocaine all feel good. Sugar feels good. Wheat feels good. Pornography feels good. The fake affections of prostitutes feel good. Comforting lies feel good. Hyperconsumption feels good. Virtue signaling feels good. Feeling good isn’t a test of anything other than the sensations we evolved as hunter gatherers. We have developed many means under agrarianism, pastoralism, civilization, industrialism, and the sciences, by which to achieve sensations that we could not obtain from the natural world except as subtle cues to scarcity. That something feels good (or bad) in the moment tells us very little about whether it is cumulatively good for us, for those around us, for our people, civilizations, and man. The opiates of the masses indeed do feel good. They are however extremely BAD for us. In fact, they are genocidal.
