    Seems like that’s how you’d get murder, cannibalism, sadism, and things like that if you don’t put limits on it somewhere.

      No one can experience all things, and there are plenty more things to choose from than what you listed.

      Totally unrelated, but what does this ink blot look like to you…? Just curious! 😜

        How would you prioritize what to experience? By novelty? Or would you be happy to watch every movie ever made?

        I mention those because it’s a common trope in fiction for curiosity of experiences to lead down disturbing paths. Slanesh in 40k comes to mind.

          It’s all up to the individual. Whatever makes your motor run. But I’d universally suggest traveling to other countries to experience different cultures first hand. Other than that… Just interact with and experience as many new things as you’ve got the bandwidth for.

      On the other hand, if you go with reproduction as the main goal, then that gets you to eugenics from an uncomfortable number of very different paths.

        Absolutely, that’d lead you to as many partners as possible while discouraging birth control. Plus tangentially it’d incentive trying to reduce the number of children other people have to increase your share of the gene pool. (Which I think is one of the paths you were getting at with eugenics)
