Well, not the ones I know.
I've got a friend who is a true Utilitarian. He's always working hard to maximize pleasure and payoff and working hard to minimize pain and effort. He's never happy because he never reaches the maximum and there's always some kind of impediment he has to overcome. Nothing is good enough and every setback is a major annoyance.
Pleasure, I think, is an asymptote.
Your pal just needs more training in the felicific cackalis.
