  Having the only measure of value be personally experienced pleasure seems kinda ehh to me.

  You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022

  I used to be more of a hedonist than I am now, I think

  My philosophy used to be "my goal in life is to squeeze every last bit of pleasure/enjoyment out of life that I can" but I worry this isn't a responsible way to go about things.

  ...And even when your hope is gone

  move along, move along, just to make it through

  (2015 self)

  Go for it.
  
  Anyways, I despise hedonism.  It's so Estonian.

  Whores! we want "poems that kill."
  Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
  guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
  and take their weapons leaving them dead

  Well, not strict hedonism.

  Estonia.  Where internet is free, people do whatever they feel like, everybody has human rights and is extremely ungrateful to Sweden and Norway, whose taxes, I remind you, pay for everything in Estonia.

  
  

  
  

  
  That sounds like a peculiar setup.
  
  Are they really ungrateful about it? i've only ever known one person from Estonia and he didn't like the country very much.

  “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”

  Strictly speaking, hedonism in an ethical framework is the belief that happiness and the cultivation thereof is the highest ideal, that preferably being the happiness of others.

  If I had a lot of money I'd stay in bed and write a 5,000-page novel, like I was all Proust or somebody.

  My thing is: is there a way for me to be hedonistic without being selfish?

  Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.

  Happiness is nice but ultimately ephermal.

  Let's just say that there's nothing in the world that isn't ultimately ephermal.

  Look, I always click the auto-correct but it always comes out as "ephermal."

  
  

  Ephemeral.

  Doesn't that make "happiness is ephemeral" kind of a meaningless statement, then?

  No, because people treat happiness as something that lasts, something eternal.

  
  

  Nothing is eternal, and we need to be reminded of that fact more often for certain things, lest we forget.
