And i dont mean libertarian free will. There is no possible world in which libertarian free will could possibly exist

2018-12-12 20:42:01 UTC  

No I just dislike them

2018-12-12 20:42:09 UTC  

Maybe it would help if I use an example of how I see this argument:
As I have already mentioned, I live in Las Vegas, where it is known for its sex. Under hedonism, the view of sex should be to have it whenever and wherever to the extreme because of how pleasurable it is. Under stoicism, sex should be seen as absolutely abhorrent and should be prohibited at any cost.

2018-12-12 20:42:29 UTC  

@AHeroQuest no. that is NOT the view of hedonism

2018-12-12 20:42:45 UTC  

thats the view of cyrenaics. Its often confused for hedonism @AHeroQuest

2018-12-12 20:42:51 UTC  

Objectivism says to work in your best long term interests

2018-12-12 20:42:58 UTC  

as does hedonism

2018-12-12 20:43:01 UTC  

Hedonism says pursue pleasure

2018-12-12 20:43:10 UTC  

which is your long term interest

2018-12-12 20:43:12 UTC  

allways

2018-12-12 20:43:25 UTC  

No my long term interest is a sustained life

2018-12-12 20:43:34 UTC  

this is why lefties are fucking dumb

2018-12-12 20:43:45 UTC  

One consistent with my values

2018-12-12 20:43:46 UTC  

so youd rather live with the worst pain imaginable for 20 years than happy for 15 years? i rather doubt that

2018-12-12 20:43:47 UTC  

Of course

2018-12-12 20:43:51 UTC  

ms ford presents strong women awards for sports illistrated

2018-12-12 20:43:56 UTC  

she fucking admitted she lied

2018-12-12 20:44:13 UTC  

You are providing a scenario with no context lol

2018-12-12 20:44:27 UTC  

christine ford now hands out strong women awards for sport sillstrated

2018-12-12 20:44:31 UTC  

isnt that a mans magazine

2018-12-12 20:44:32 UTC  

wtf

2018-12-12 20:44:45 UTC  

Pleasure isn't explicitly linked to overall good. Plenty of things we respond to well are bad for us in the long run

2018-12-12 20:45:12 UTC  

isnt sports illustrated originally for men

2018-12-12 20:45:15 UTC  

Blasey-Ford announced that Sports Illustrated’s Inspiration of the Year Award would go to Rachel Denhollander for being the first to expose Nassar,

2018-12-12 20:45:17 UTC  

i wonder if kate upton is a feminist

2018-12-12 20:45:20 UTC  

Pleasure is in most cases a sign or success though @Beemann

2018-12-12 20:45:21 UTC  

@Beemann thats why you DONT do stuff thats bad for you in the long run if you are a hedonist

2018-12-12 20:45:26 UTC  

fucking lying ford is the spokeperson

2018-12-12 20:45:26 UTC  

Further, pain and displeasure avoidance leads to safe space bullshit. The modern "left" could be described, quite easily, as hedonistic

2018-12-12 20:45:28 UTC  

wtf

2018-12-12 20:45:28 UTC  

With the standard being life

2018-12-12 20:45:33 UTC  

thast precisly the point @Beemann

2018-12-12 20:46:16 UTC  

But all great achievements ultimately carry a sort of pain-cost. Is net pleasure not better served by mediocrity?

2018-12-12 20:46:21 UTC  

@Beemann well, religious puritans could ALSO easily be described as hedonistic. Probably the most extreme form

2018-12-12 20:46:41 UTC  

You're going to have to explain that one without redefining several words

2018-12-12 20:46:54 UTC  

Lol

2018-12-12 20:47:06 UTC  

religious puritans sacrifice a LOT in order to avoid infinite pain and gain infinite pleasure. Thats hedonism @Beemann

2018-12-12 20:47:36 UTC  

That's an oversimplification of their overall ideology

2018-12-12 20:47:51 UTC  

Yer a hammer looking for nails here m8

2018-12-12 20:47:52 UTC  

damn Gavvin got de personed

2018-12-12 20:47:52 UTC  

Sacrifice means to give a higher value to a lower one or to a non value
