Notes
The Pleasure Principle is part of the Needs Algorithm.
Note that salutatory programming may be subverted by Conditioning and Ideology. One can be conditioned to endure pain. One can adopt statements that circumvent instinctual programming. The Pleasure Principle may be thus circumvented by ideological statements that suggest pain is salutatory, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
