I looked up what hedonistic means and it seems pretty obvious to me you missed the whole point of Blackdragons book or didn't read much of it which you even admitted.

I knew it, I knew my viewpoint will not play well with you guys. But still I'll try to explain what I mean, for whatever it's worth. You see, I'm a cynic. I'm also cynical, but here I mean "cynic" in particular. Read about people like Diogenes of Sinope to learn more. If you done so you'd learn cynics have different understanding of happiness typical people (among them Blackdragon) does. Fucking my way through like doesn't resonate with me. That's why I respect his book very much, but it has some very serious flaws with me - and it's obvious when we're talking apples and oranges. That being said I don't want to be cynic, that way of thinking brought me low all my life and I want to grow out of it (by using Shannon's subs as well as other means) but it also shaped me and gave me insights that will probably stay with all my life, and for good. So in short, don't be surprised Blackdragon's hedonism, or should I say "commercial happiness" based on money and sex doesn't resonate with me. And yes, I know he claims there is more to it, but those two sections is what he focuses on and I can't help but judge it in basis of it. I may all change with time and it will be very interesting case study if I will. For now though, let me hate "The Unchained Man" while reading it slowly but passionately.
