Beautiful answer 💜
Thank you for sharing ✨
What a great & tough question. I have so many books that I can barely fit in my NYC apartment hehe
Hmmmm
I would say Edgar Allan Poe’s the “Fall of the House of Usher” is on my top list of favorite books of all time. He’s my favorite author, as a person, because of the turmoil & mystery that surrounds him. It is rumored he was assassinated because he had involvement in thwarting elections. All of the people he loved died…
When I first read that book, it triggered my imagination… I even wrote a soundtrack to it. I love stories of fallen empires - but it’s because of who he is, as a person, that makes me get great joy in reading his book over & over again.
Next would be Conrad’s story “The Heart of Darkness,” because it inspired Marlon Brando, one of my favorite actors ever, in “Apocalypse Now.”
I’m not all goth all the time either… I love the rabbit stories of Beatrix Potter’s illustrations, like “The Tale of Peter Rabbit.”
These have remained unchanging over the years for me as a love for literature… & I’m not even a fiction fan lol
Wow. I have to read all of these! I have read some. Thank you for this - you’re the best, Dave.
Who are the most famous hedonists/hedonistic characters in literature? Please give me 10 examples. For example, Dorian Gray.
Does a hedonist who believes that they’ll simply die anyway and won’t have to face the responsibility or consequences, still suffer?
Amazing Dave. Now, what would a person do, or what are the possibilities of the life they could live, as a hedonist and anarchist who doesn’t care about anything at all? What kind of life would they live, oh, and they have lots of money.

Dave, please give me 15 hedonistic approaches to mass extinction, climate change, & all the dystopian, apocalyptic (and valid threats to Earth) from a single human beings perspective with the great philosophers in mind from ancient times, until the writers & hedonists today. In other words, an option for a person to say “forget it” & just live life not caring at all.
What would you have to speak on, from your thorough observation - the primary threat from the environment, of which negatively impacts the sustenance of mammal life? We all have that one thing we feel is a major threat 😊
IMO, it’s clean air & water.
Agreed. Thank you for your work 🙏🏽 The first thing I would input is the human beings are included in the risk of population decline as well.
We are fighting mass extinction 🔥 🌎
