What kind of energy are hedonistic people taking ? Electric ? Kinetic ? Thermal ? Magnetic ?
- rusk 8y agoA bit of everything. Of course I meant emotional energy which you're likely to poopoo as "not" energy but I'd contend that the definition of energy in physics is an operational one. But even so, if you're partying all the time then somebody has to pay to keep the lights on. Somebody has to clean up after you and somebody has to constantly buoy your emotional state and protect you from the negative thoughts that might otherwise threaten your party. I would contend that all of this takes "energy" as defined in the canon of physics.

If I live alone on an island with enough food growing around me to feed me, that would be an easy life. What would that take of other people ?
- rusk 8y agoFair enough. I don't think that's what most people think of when they hear the word "hedonism". Sounds lovely though. Sounds like a very nice holiday. Wouldn't want to get sick.
- tomrod 8y agoSounds like a form of karma.
- rusk 8y agoYeah it does actually, though again I'd be concerned about being consigned to the woo category if I used that term. Also, being a westerner it's one of those concepts I've heard a lot about but almost certainly don't completely grasp, so I wouldn't feel comfortable using it for any kind of rigorous analysis.
