Психологът Пол Блум защитава две твърдения, които обикновено не вървят ръка за ръка - първо, че всекидневното удоволствие е дълбинно и трансцендентално, и второ, че то е израз на еволюцията ни като човешки същества. Като тези позиции на пръв поглед си противоречат. Ако удоволствието е задълбочено, то би трябвало да се основава на култура и ерудиция.
