Mill agreed with Bentham's view that happiness should be the standard of utility, but believed that not all pleasures were equal. He developed a theory of higher and lower pleasures, arguing that intellectual pleasures were of higher quality than bodily pleasures like eating, drinking, or sex. Mill maintained it is better to be a dissatisfied Socrates than a satisfied fool, as human dissatisfaction with intellectual pursuits is superior to bestial satisfaction of bodily desires alone.
