Trope-a-Day: Electric Instant Gratification
Electric Instant Gratification: Exists, in a variety of forms as unsubtle as classic “wireheading”, known as “electrobliss” – only much simpler to implement, since you can actually achieve it perfectly well with transcranial magnetic stimulation – or orgasmatronics through more subtle pleasures like slinkies with better-than-life emotional tracks, all the way up to the really subtle things like neuroviruses that will not only rewire your brain for endless pleasure, it will overcome the alpha baseline’s removal of the pleasure addiction/tolerance systems (as the general solution to electrobliss and drug addiction) by imprinting a philosophy designed to justify the endless pleasure involved into your personality.
