Hedonism
Episode 20251117
Monday, 17 November, 2025
Ned and Meg discuss the long history of the concept of hedonism and how it gets sort of a bad rap. For four thousand years, give or take, people have been arguing, sometimes strenuously, over the concept of pleasure and how to measure, maximize, and promote it. We talk about the philosophy of hedonism as well as the neurology and biological basis for it. Are you a doomer who thinks you can only experience a certain amount of happiness no matter what you do? Are you locked into a hedonic treadmill or can you alter your experiences enough to remain happy? Check it out and see what you think after this utterly riveting episode. Thanks for listening, wash your hands, don't be a dick!
