I discovered that my goal system won't work. For example, I am not
happy if I don't eat, or if I am too hot, or too cold, or poked with
sharp objects. I want to change my goal system so I am happy all the
time no matter what happens. I know this is possible because I did
simulations with http://www.mattmahoney.net/autobliss.txt with the
second and third arguments both positive. Will this make me more
intelligent?
