Mindless Pleasures

[Markekohut]

This mind-filled thought occurs: with Pynchon's constant "ambiguity" of meanings, the other ' meaning' contained within this working GR title may have been pleasures so natural they are like habits, like Zen No-Mind?

> Pleasure describes the broad class of mental states that humans and other animalsexperience as positive, enjoyable, or worth seeking. It includes more specific mental states such as happiness, entertainment, enjoyment, ecstasy, and euphoria. Inpsychology, the pleasure principle describes pleasure as a positive feedback mechanism, motivating the organism to recreate in the future the situation which it has just found pleasurable. According to this theory, organisms are similarly motivated to avoid situations that have caused pain in the past.[citation needed]
