So, I'm curious whether anyone else has experimented before with trying to get a "raw handle" on one's "pleasure button" that doesn't involve the front door.
I have been trying off and on for a few years to reliably induce "tingles" and "feeling good" without the touching occasionally having successes that have been forgotten, and have recently been making progress there in memorability.
Mostly, it seems like there's a sentinel between "here" where my agency core lives and "there" where the neural linkage happens to feed energy into the machine. To get it to work that sentinel seems to need to be distracted, but I'm willing to bet that sentinel prevents more than just on-demand triggering of pleasure.
I'm sure this has been studied and discussed somewhere in more detail?
