I don't entirely agree with hedonism. What if I liked to kill people? Then I should do it? We seem to equate hedonism to sex, but there's more to it than that. Isn't there? Other than that, it's pretty high up there. I'm quite cynical however.

If you were hedonistic and enjoyed killing people, it would suck for other people, but for you it would be the best possible existence.

Oh yes, it would. Personally, I'd rather *content deleted*.

This is totally OT and not really science... but heck.

Unless you subscribe to dualism (i.e. thoughts and body are separate, non-physical consciousness exists) then a thought will manifest itself in something. In a human this is electrons jumping from neuron to neuron. If we're computer simulations then it would be bits in the computer.

If one thinks, then something exists to represent that thinking.
