    Our societies are strongly gravitating towards Political/Ideological Hedonism aka. socialism. Taking more and more responsibility/freedom from the individual and handing it over to state authority. That's why Leftists hate Elon, he is the epitome of self-ownership, individual autonomy, and the possibilities the free market economy offers.

    I'd say I am balanced between the two.

    Stoicism with breaks for hedonism. Both are needed.

    I agree. But what about Consumerism and its origins in capitalism and hedonistic society?
