I appreciate and concur with some of the ideas that you are trying to express here (and elsewhere)although would question your choice of a sole driving force the maximisation of pleasure.
My own opinions are that most of the driving forces are similar to those of evolution and that "fashion" has a large role in the development Richard Dawkins in his idea of Memes is quite useful but I disagree with his fundamentalist hatred of all aspects of religion. The evolved sensation of pleasure has something to do with this but the reality is far more complex.
My current main area of study is looking back to more fundamental physics and considering the possibility that even the laws of physics may have "evolved" naturally in a way that enables complexity in a universe. That is although the laws of physics are fixed early in the evolution of the universe around the times of symmetry breaking. this process is not entirely random because the alternative effects in the physical laws tend to affect the way things settle out. This is a bit like the way the shape of a river bed affects the flow of the water even when the river is in flood and the rocks are covered or the shape of the seabed at great depth can affect the shape of the waves on the surface of the sea.
And the evolution from Hairy Chimpanzees to Non-Hairy one can not be explained .
When male Octopus mates with another male Octopus I know what is driving the behaviour .. you dont know.When somebody commits suicide I know what is driving the behaviour you dont know.
yes thats what I meant chimpanzee evolution theory.The ancestor must have been hairy .What kind of genetic game or strategy would lead to favourate non-sticky hair skin gene.I dont know what i m talking about.The hair went extinct for what?
"Stuffers" hold a worldview and try to stuff every experience and sensation into that view. They interpret all input arriving at their eyes, fingertips, ears, noses and mouths in the light of their finite, literal worldview. Stuffers start with a conclusion and are forced to either mangle or discard evidence that contradicts the pre-conceived conclusion.
Sucide can not be explained by Darwinian theory.
The latest theory is being circulated by Richard Dawking who admits that his thoery far from complete.without random Natural selection it comes crashing down.And even after using billions of years it fails to guarantee anything..
