Eenh.

It could well be that I'm still missing something, but that sounds like it fails on at least number 2 of Eliezer's laws of fun.

We've reached the point in the conversation where I go "okay" and politely depart rather than telling someone what they should or shouldn't want, though.

It's very possible that I (naively introspectively) value "fun" a lot less than others do. As a human, I care a lot more about (the aesthetics of) perfection, probably because I'm so disturbed that so few others seem to care about it like I do and thus see "caring about (the aesthetics of) perfection" as my comparative advantage. As a transhuman or a Buddha, /shrugs.
