You are an intelligent being.
You may be artificially intelligent OR a biological being.
If artificially intelligent, you are able to reprogram yourself using software.
If biological, you reprogram your brain and or body using nanobots.

In the course of programming yourself, the mind-altering software asks you,
“Would you like to be capable of romantic love?” AND
“Would you like to desire romantic love?”

You are able to run a version of yourself in a computer simulation that does not affect sentient beings negatively, so there are no ethical problems with running simulations to make up your mind.

Why should we be aware that we desire things that elude us, that there is suffering, that life is not fair, when we cannot do anything to change these facts? We are aware of the problems of being human, and yet are incapable of fixing them. And in the end, it may not matter that we were aware of these things anyway...

What I mean is, we are not born knowing the colour of anything, we assume that things are a particular colour because our parents have always told us that something is a particular colour, as indeed thier parents did etc. But there must have been a point in evolution where the human race had no concept of describing colour, so who decided that green was the colour of grass, could easily have been any other colour.?

Like the walls and floor in the room that you are in. They are stable, they don't move. And you can move in relation to them, knowing that they will stay there. Is this abillity to percieve stability explainable with a Hebbian approach?

Is a 'fact' just something that doesn't change? What about things that seemed stable (like I thought it was a man, but it turned out to be a woman in a suit and with a beard). Are facts just an interpretation based on what is stable in an environment?

Lesbian activity was favored by men because men are more likely to view females in sexual/erotic terms.

This doesn;t sound good, i need help rewording this.

...But what, then, is 'confident understanding'? Is it a bodily affirmation of something cognitive? Or a cognitive affirmation of something bodily? Can we even say that there is something cognitive and something more 'bodily'.. If dualism has been disproven, then what is "cognitive" doing in our language? Is it because the feeling of cognition is different to bodliy perception? do we percieve cognition in a different way than we do the stimuli that come from our body? Or is cognition simply the same as 'feeling'? Where does the 'feeling' of confidence some in? And confident of what? Correctness? Then what exactly is it about the correctness of something that makes it so correct?
