Instead of creating utility, which is hard, we should all train ourselves to find utility in what we already have.

Should? Should for what purpose? Generating utility? If so, utility by what function?

By a very confused utility function? By a utility function best described as Virtue Ethics with total passivity as the highest virtue?

I wasn't suggesting this was a good idea, I was just putting forward a meme which would be rejected by Less Wrong as "too dumb to talk about" which nonetheless would result in universal bliss if it were actually adopted.
