Rocking Chair Test.....Fallacy

{How the "Rocking Chair Test" ends up as a failure w/me due to vidya.}

As I've mentioned here, there's something I find uneasy in the rocking chair test...pun unintended.  I guess the ultimate argument for the rocking chair test is some sort of performative contradiction argument.  Something like saying, "Well, if you feel uneasy about it, that's regret, and also just confirms the Rocking Chair Test."  But, something about this doesn't feel quite right.  When I think about my vidya past, while I'm thinking about it, it is pleasurable, there is no tinge of regret.

To me, the real problem with this conflation is what really is 'happiness'.
