Truly a philosophy for the 21th century.
We've been arguing over why things should be enjoyed since forever, how about shutting up and enjoying them, it's like asking what love is and why do I wanna fuck someone. It feeels good.

Let go of the illusion of merit and quality, /lit/

This tbh.

Especially since being overly analytical is detrimental to the fun itself. It's so effective that Aurelius even used this approach to ruin his own fun:

>When you sit before delicacies and fancy foods, you will recognize their nature if you bear in mind that this is the corpse of a fish, that is the corpse of a bird or a pig; or again, that imported wine is merely grape juice, and this purple robe some sheep’s wool dipped in the blood of a shellfish; and as for sexual intercourse, it is the rubbing of a piece of intestine, then a convulsion, and the spurting of some mucus. Thoughts like these go to the heart of actual facts and penetrate them, allowing us to see them as they really are. (Meditations, 6 13)
