" making unsound arguments " is the problem.

I have no problem with hedonism. Everything in moderation, including moderation. But what is "moderation"?

We've always had celebrations, festivals, holidays, weekends, and evenings off since they made up the sabbath.

Everyone who has sex or does drugs more than you is a slut or junkie but everyone who does less is a prude or uptight.

There's always worse and better. Same thing applies to wealth.

It's the extremes that are the problem. Extreme wealth means they are exploiting everything. Extreme poverty leads to death. Extreme prudishness leads to extinction. Extreme perversion can lead to exploiting everything.
