It feels impure and is too mainstream.
I'm curious, why does it feel impure? And why do you think the answer is "happiness shouldn't be a terminal value" and not "happiness shouldn't feel impure"? As for it being mainstream, why does that matter at all? Believing a brick will fall if you drop it is mainstream too, but is that a reason to reject that belief?
