If you went to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina and told someone at their front door in two weeks the Wright brothers would fly thousands of pounds through the air they would have looked at you like you were crazy. And sure enough, just two weeks later, all of those papers mathematically proving the impossibility of airplane flight were shown wrong.

You would think. Hedonists never ask OP's question for as long as they remain hedonists. But no one ever remains a hedonist. They are all sorry eventually

What's worth dying for?

>> No.5090993

>>5090902
It's more rational so seek a state of equanimity, rather than constantly chase euphoria. Euphoria can never be maintained so it results in more suffering in the long run.

Nothing, probably, but try and make it somewhat enjoyable, because you will be living this again and again forever.
