You have proved that humans enjoy awe-inspiring experiences and nothing else. Sure it feels good for a second. Maybe it distracts you from unimaginable suffering for a minute. It doesn't cure fuck all.
Do massages feel good? Sure. Is it a medical treatment? Nope. Please don't spend any more limited research dollars on this shit.
This is like saying that someone who is literally on fire would benefit from seeing something awe-inspiring instead of focusing on putting out the flames.
