Oddbean new post about login | logout I like a bit of hedonism. I enjoy vices and having fun. But I balance it with hard work, learning, growth, helping. I feel it’s a pretty good balance. I am proud of myself and can let loose and have fun when it’s time.
Before bitcoin, I just called myself a hedonist. I was sick of pretending not to enjoy the things I enjoy - which is women and good conversation around good drinks. But that came from a place of hopelessness, and entirely lacked the balance of responsibility. Then bitcoin ripped open my brain, and God stepped into that resultant aperture, and I'm not nihilistic anymore.
