-
All right, you're saying it takes education
-
to appreciate higher true things.
-
Mill's point is that the higher pleasures do require
-
cultivation and appreciation and education.
-
He doesn't dispute that.
-
But once having been cultivated and educated, people will see,
-
not only see the difference between higher and lower pleasures,
-
but will actually prefer the higher to the lower.
-
You find this famous passage from John Stuart Mill.
-
"It is better to be a human being
-
dissatisfied than a pig satisfied;
-
better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied.
