I really should be asleep but fuck that
We've been tossing around some rather interesting ideas lately at the office. Lots of philosophy. in particular stoicism and ethical hedonism, both wildly misunderstood. Turns out the ethical hedonism is all about working towards the highest form of pleasure, doing good. In the pursuit of this "highest form of pleasure" one should become celibate and work for the greater good of humanity. I say fuck that. I'll keep my booze and women and the rest of humanity can fuck of and deal with their own shit. Needless to say I'm a crappy ethical hedonist.
On the other hand there is stoicism. It's not so much the denial of all emotions but the understanding of those emotions and controlling them. There's also this neat idea of Stoic Sexual Blindness. Seeing as how sex is an a purely emotional act it can be considered the most basic action one can take to help balance all other emotions. Sad? Get laid. Mother just died? Get laid. Had a good day and are feeling giddy? You need to get laid. I don't know how well that holds up and I'm sure if I wasn't so tired and incoherent this would all make more sense. I do , however, know a few people I wouldn't' mind "balancing my emotions out" with

you are all round crappy... not really just those hidiously ugly calf muscles. those are sooo gross.
see I think I would really be good with stoicism. and don't say that you'll help me out with it either. I already know how your pervy little mind works.
