I would bet US$100 that, if asked, Eliezer would say that

the people with the highest fun/resource ratio would be rewarded, most likely those with the lowest IQ, as they would be happy to be injected with the fun drug and kept in suspended animation for as long as possible.

shows a complete misinterpretation of Fun Theory.
