Prerequisite.
Hedonism is the philosophy in which pleasure is what is fundamentally valuable and all other things that we perceive as valuable can be reduced to their inherent elements of pleasure.
Misconception.
People often associate this entire philosophy with reckless overindulgence or unproductive methods of short-term pleasure seeking like masturbation or drinking. For someone to make this assertion two things could be happening.
1: This person is the result of generations of degenerate rural inbreeding.
2: Fuck you. (Most likely option)
The reality is that hedonism is not confined by the seeking of immediate pleasures; it encompasses the pursuit of long term gratification as well. To understand this, follow this line of logic;
~ "I go gym to improve attractiveness > I Improve attractiveness to get pussy > I get pussy to satisfy ego and cause dick feel good." Obviously the reasoning behind a persons values follows a much more complicated line of logic than this, but the conclusion remains the same. The inherent pleasure is what is fundamentally being valued.
Why hedonism is the only thing that matters.
Now after properly defining hedonism and understanding how it works, tackling this question is easy. Hedonism is the only thing that matters because that's the only model in which we can function as a species. At the biological level, hedonism isn't just a philosophy; it's practically a law in human nature, grounded deeply in the neurobiological processes that govern human behavior.
The limbic system, which includes the amygdala and the hippocampus, is primarily responsible for our emotional life and has a crucial role in the formation of memories, particularly memories associated with a pleasure. When we experience pleasure, these regions activate. This process is ruthlessly efficient at encouraging us to repeat these behaviors, it's why most of you motherfuckers can't stop beating your dick.
Then there's the role of the reward pathway in the brain, primarily involving the nucleus accumbens, which is significantly activated during pleasurable experiences. This pathway is critical in promoting behaviors that are deemed rewarding by releasing a surge of dopamine.
I could go on about how the body not only encourages, but literally can not function without hedonism. But to wrap it up, the stigma around hedonism is retarded, anyone who is intellectually honest with themselves will conclude through reductive reasoning that all of their values are only valuable due to it's inherent pleasures.
But what do I know? I'm just a greycel.
