Comment on Why No Wireheading?

Wireheading doesn't seem like something agents as similar as humans should be able to agree to disagree on.

Suicide is even more basic than wireheading, yet humans disagree about whether or not to commit suicide. There are even some philosophers who have thought about it and concluded suicide is the "rational" decision. If humans cannot, in fact agree about whether to exist or not, how can you think wireheading has a "right" answer?
