Hedonism

Notes

Claim

Hedonism is about letting Desire perpetuates endless wanting over satisfaction guide our actions, that moral behavior is at the eye of the beholder, and good or bad only measures by how much pleasure or pain we gain. While some hedonistic might separate between different types of pleasures, that some are more "true" than others, or "worthwhile" pursuing, it is not always the case.

Explanation

The appeal of hedonism is that it is really easy to Love what is good, because what is good is what we love, thus reversing the question on its head, instead of us trying to enjoy doing the right thing, we assign "goodness" to what we feel is fun Flipping assumptions reveals hidden possibilities and better solutions.
