Does Feldenkrais Pleasurability Need to Be Objectively Measured?
In one of these entries, I made the claim that harmonizing your internal senses is intrinsically pleasurable. This is subjectivity piled on subjectivity! If you said 'prove it' I would have to confess that I think it would be possible but it would sure cost a lot of money and take a lot of time. But you know what? How stupid is that? If the claim is that something is intrinsically pleasurable, then the only salient test is—do it, and if it is intrinsically pleasurable for you, then it is intrinsically pleasurable for you. Who cares what the Intrins-O-dometer says? The Intrins-O-dometer will never give a more salient answer to the question than you will find within yourself. So when I talk of the loss of subjective data, I'm not just saying 'gee that's a lot of data to throw away' I'm also saying 'that's THE data, subjective or not, that you just threw out with the bathwater.'
