So you'd adjust yourself to never feel pain, boredom or any other form of
suffering in any situation? Okay. Would you adjust yourself to be equally
happy in all situations?

If so, how would you solve the problem that you would then have no motive to
do anything more complicated than sitting there staring at the wall?

If not, then presumably you would adjust yourself to be happier doing some
things than others. In which case my original question stands: What things
would you adjust yourself to be happiest doing, and why?
