>being born into a society so wealthy the children go around playing as paupers for fun
Absolutely disgusting desu.

OP physical pleasure is futile because it is finite. You will die. Whether you die an ignorant animal bleating out prayers or whether you pass silently knowing for a fact in your soul that you will return to the divine depends on whether you gain wisdom in the course of your life.

As the Spartans say: know thyself, and nothing in excess. There is an argument to be made against an excess of wisdom, a paralysis before God that instills anhedonia, but I wouldn't worry about it in your case. :^)

The only people who say this are popular science hacks like negro degrasse tyson and stephen hawking and the only people who believe them are teenage pseuds who read their "Brief History of Time" like it's the gospel while browsing Ted Talks and /r/atheism. Within actual academic circles, there is a pretty broad consensus over what falls into science and philosophy and more often than not there is significant collaboration between the two. The only reason why we keep getting these threads is because 99% of the people here are self-hating continental pseuds who have never bothered to pick up a book on the philosophy of science or the philosophy of physics. We wouldn't be having this conversation every week otherwise
