Proportional Pleasure

Let me amplify the point I made earlier about pleasure's being bound to track value. Notice that value comes in degrees, as does pleasure. We standardly critique pleasures not just insofar as they respond to a genuine good full stop, but also in regard to the extent to which the pleasure is proportional to the value. To be too pleased about something good can be a problem. To be insufficiently pleased by something good can be a problem. Again, though, I should note that as problems go, being more pleased than you ought to is a very small failing... but a kind of failing nonetheless.
