A dinâmica da existência é um jogo de poder entre os atores.
IP = índice de prazer
DS = aumento de desejos satisfeitos
DNS = aumento de desejos não satisfeitos
DSO = Aumento nos desejos satisfeitos de outras criaturas que nos afetam
DNSO = Aumento de desejos insatisfeitos de outras criaturas que nos afetam
IP = DS - DNS - DSO + DNSO
The dynamics of existence is a power play between the actors.
PI = Pleasure index
SD = Increase in satisfied desires
UD = Increase in unsatisfied desires
OS = Increase in satisfied desires of other creatures that affect us
OU = Increase in unsatisfied desires of other creatures that affect us
PI = SD - UD - OS + OU
Notes
A diminishing of survival prospects might come through injury, illness, starvation, reduced status in the herd, and so on. For humans it might involve financial distress, social isolation, and the items listed for other creatures.
The effort to exist is wholly driven by a sense of lack. We eat because of hunger, drink because of thirst, socialize to alleviate isolation, exercise to keep the body well, take medicines to cure illnesses, work to make money - and so on. Existence is inherently painful.
All creatures strive for pleasure. At a basic level this is striving to obtain food, shelter, a mate. For humans it might include fame, wealth, entertainment and being part of a group.
Pleasure is nearly always predicated on the suffering of others. Clearly this is the case for animals devouring each other, but in human society it might mean buying cheap goods at the cost of low wages for those who have produced the goods. It might even be simply winning an argument at the expense of the other.
