It’s pure fantasy. Firstly, I don’t think they’ll ever actually achieve it, but secondly - think about people today who live without hardship. Kids of wealthy families.

They have everything they could ever want. They’re as close as you can get to “pure bliss”, but are they happy? A ton of them end up addicted. Hedonic adjustment is a real bitch and you end up throwing everything away to chase pleasure. The more you indulge, the more you need to get the same baseline of pleasure.

Humans aren’t meant to live without hardships. The transhumanists just can’t accept that reality.
