I've said it before and I'll say it again, hedonism gets a bad rap.

Hedonism, if it's logically consistent and takes a long-term view, is basically Epicureanism, which is far from what comes to mind when we hear the term hedonism.

No it isn’t. The two are opposites. Pleasure vs happiness,

Opposite? They are prerequisites of each other. Can't be happy without pleasure. Can't feel pleasure when unhappy.

Reminds me of the distinction between Type 1 and Type 2 fun.

Lower-case hedonism (not the philosophy) gets a deservedly bad rap. There is little long-term satisfaction in pleasure-seeking.

Maybe Hedonism is sound.
