A modern, growing Religion based on enjoying the pleasures of this life, now, instead of holding out for a hoped-for heaven after you're dead and it's too late.
Rational Hedonism is a religion revolving around the individual, and the belief that Your world revolves around You.
Rational Hedonism believes in indulging in the things you enjoy, but with responsibility; ie: sex is great, STDs and unwanted pregnancy is not ... following your desires, dreams is cool, going to prison because of it is not.
hedonism
Ever since Joe discovered Rational Hedonism, he's stopped worrying about trying to please everyone else and started doing the things he loves to do and is much happier.

One of the greatest but most underrated characters on Futurama. Known for being completely golden, always lying down, even while walking, almost always munching on grapes, and always rejoicing at anything and everything that brings him entertainment or pleasure.
Some of Hedonism Bot's best quotes are:
I apologize for nothing!
Surgery in an opera? How wonderfully decadent! And just when I was beginning to lose interest... Djambi, the chocolate icing!
Oh, sirrah, how deliciously absurd!

The pursuit of pleasure as a matter of ethical principle, in an extremely heathenistic way, or ignoring responsibility and focusing entirely on appeasing one's gods.
ie: the act of being a heathen hedon
Example:
Joe: Matt's been slaughtering goats all afternoon.
Will: I know, that guy just doesn't accept the responsibilities of life. Its all about his gods with him.
Joe: Talk about heathen hedonism.

The semi philosophical idea that there is moral nobility in the pursuit of hedonistic pleasure. Taught by the Church Of Carnal Knowledge.
My friend here practices noble hedonism
moderate conservative hedonism", "mch" for short, is a term used to broadly describe the weltanschauung -- sociopolitical & otherwise --of any well-bred gentleman, scholar, bonvivant, & gourmand before the death of old europe.
mch is characterized by a propensity for the general enjoyment of life. -- within a certain moderation, Μηδὲν ἄγαν, & with a keen eye for the tradition.
though the mch outlook has declined since the death of old europe, some men, like roberto calasso or gerard depardieu, remain true to the old ways.
expressions of mch in the heritage of europe are too numerous to count, though here is a list of some quintessentials:
wine, the delphic maxims, cheese, decadent plates of cold cuts, fruit, & marzipan, observance of the faith, rococo painting & second empire furniture, death in venice, sonnets to the fishermen of capri, a gallon of beer a day, hatred of taxes, an aloof & cosmopolitan view of things (in particular in matters culinary & poetic), the study of botany, ornithology, monteverdi's madrigals, chess, collections of old cookbooks, gambling (but not too much), an interest in pencils, coffeehouse brawling, orientalism, a fine assortment of various rare teas, liberatory book theft, quoting vauvenargues at the cute cashier in the store, hiking, opening a beauty salon in the ruins of the lotus-land, foie gras for breakfast.
Si bene qui cenat bene vivit, lucet, eamus
quo ducit gula, piscemur, venemur!
(Horace)
example a)
person 1: I watched an episode of gerard depardieu's europe last night. he talked about cheese for half an hour.
person 2: yes, he's a true moderate conservative hedonist.
example b)
person 1: how do you interpret horace's epistle to numicius?
person 2: i think wieland is right in his commentary when he says that the epistle is about finding the ways of moderate conservative hedonism.

The point in a video game wherein the challenge exceeds the fun. Mario Hedonic Threshold or MHT is named for the world's favorite digital Italian plumber, but the term could apply to any challenge a gamer finds sufficiently frustrating. MHT value necessarily varies according to an individual gamer's psychological characteristics and skill set.
Subject M's Mario Hedonic Threshold (MHT) is as high as Rainbow Road. M didn't even break a sweat during that final lap! Subject L's low MHT, however, resulted in a broken TV screen and reports of a researcher being force-fed a Joy Con.
Didn't make a hedonic cause I made an ontological case. You're deliberately deflecting from the case I made against to because it made you cry.
Hym "I made an ontological case. Not a hedonic case. Of God exists, I am an immortal soul... Trapped against my will... In whatever state God wills... And I will inevitably die... Not because I have to die... But because it thinks I deserve it... And after I do... I will exist in whatever state God wills... So, I have literally been kidnapped and imprisoned against my will... And I'm awaiting my own murder... That is the case I made. And if that is the case... The God is a kidnapper and murderer... And of kidnappers and murders are evil... Then God is ALSO evil... So, it's evil. God is literally a Solipsistic Narcissistic Psychopath and a child porn enthusiasts."
