When a life of fun is not fun:

#hedonism

I was raised on #hedonism and old habits die hard. Sometimes I indulge, though I know it’s a fool’s game. I have “junkie-reasoning” for that indulgence, which is that #abstinence robs us of the opportunity to parse the folly of pursuing #happiness through #pleasure.

It’s not water-tight, this “argument”, but it’s predicated on the #assumption that we can’t transform our #attachment to what we are not in #contact with.

Happy to discuss ~ eager, even: I could be wrong… it’s happened before!

A quotation from Kit Marlowe

BAD ANGEL: He that loves pleasure, must for pleasure fall.

Christopher "Kit" Marlowe (1564-1593) English dramatist and poet
The Tragicall History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus, Act 5, sc. 4 (sc. 19), l. 2032 (5.4.2032) (1594; 1616 “B” text)

“In other words, set yourself up to welcome more pleasure in. There is nothing wrong with pleasure, but a whole lot right. And, if de Lazari-Radek’s #hedonism is right, a happy and healthy life might just be one that finds as much ethically sourced pleasure as we can.”

What's all this then

A quotation from Bertrand Russell

A quotation from Chamfort

To enjoy and to give joy, without harming either oneself or anyone else, that, I think, is all of morality.
 
[Jouis et fair jouir, sans faire mal ni à toi ni à personne, voilà, je crois, toute la morale.]

Nicolas Chamfort (1741-1794) French writer, epigrammist (b. Nicolas-Sébastien Roch)
Products of Perfected Civilization [Produits de la Civilisation Perfectionée], Part 1 “Maxims and Thoughts [Maximes et Pensées],” ch. 5, ¶ 319 (1795) [tr. Siniscalchi (1994)]

A quotation from Bertrand Russell

A man may feel so completely thwarted that he seeks no form of satisfaction, but only distraction and oblivion. He then becomes a devotee of “pleasure.” That is to say, he seeks to make life bearable by becoming less alive. Drunkenness, for example, is temporary suicide: the happiness that it brings is merely negative, a momentary cessation of unhappiness.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 1 “What Makes People Unhappy?” (1930)

Throwback Friday - Could it be that chasing happiness doesn’t make us happier and could even make us miserable? And if so, how should we go about this ‘happiness’ thing? This video explores the nature of happiness.

Weird question maybe, but seriously who the fuck thinks that hedonism is wrong? Like, what even is the alternative? I what way is opposition to hedonism even halfway consistent & sensible? Could someone explain?

Is this the #inflation everyone talks about or increasing #hedonism? 😅 Our living expenses have steadily increased over the last eight years. I can't remeber being particularly more economical in the past.

Made with my :hledger: #hledger-plot command (https://gitlab.com/nobodyinperson/hledger-utils#hledger-plot---plotting-charts-of-hledger-queries). I find such graphical budgeting and planning very powerful. That's the power of #plainTextAccounting: You got the data, do anything with it. 🚀

Thanks @simonmic for hledger, such a fantastic tool! 🥳
