“Pleasure results from gaining knowledge about the object of our pleasure,

not, as we might assume, from merely experiencing it over and over again.

Our pleasure increases in something when we learn its...deeper nature"


Paul Bloom, Yale professor

PhD in cognitive psychology, specializes in pleasure research
