If you go to a bar on a Saturday night, chug some shots, eat some nachos, smoke a cigarette outside, and then piss into a flush toilet, you've already reached greater heights of hedonism and sybaritic excess in one single evening than any of the greatest Emperors of Rome or Pharaohs of Egypt managed to do in an entire lifetime.

It's like that one tweet about how we have experienced more extreme nacho flavor from one dorito than someone from the 13th century ever would have in their entire life time. The tweet was made to be funny but gently caress man, I eat better than emperors of old and that's wild to think about.

But the nature of human desire is such that this empty consumption doesn't satisfy us any more than it did the emperors of old. We are often left emptier than when we began the night, feeling less satisfied and certainly less well. This is because the endless pursuit of consumption can provide only temporary respite from the terrible march of time.

The ascetics would tell you to forsake material pleasures entirely, that the only way to defeat this desire is to relegate it purely to the ideal realm and thereby starve it completely. This is foolish, as this banishes desire only temporarily, in much the same way as does consumption.

These are the ideas of old. I would argue that the true benefit we have over our ancestors isn't our material excess but the ideas we have inherited, developed and honed. Another school of thought, informed by thousands of years of history, is that we should pursue that which is abjected by desire. In doing so we actually broaden our desires and transcend our purely animal drives. We thereby indulge in a more deeply fulfilling pleasure that isn't limited to temporary material comfort.

In conclusion: piss on the floor. Eat the cigarette. Soak the nachos in the alcohol and splash it in a stranger's face.

This overlooks the endorphin rush from power. The difference between your party and the emperor's is that he can order anything that comes to mind and expect it to be done. A minor lord from medieval europe could probably get away with more depravity than a world leader or billionaire today.

You can judge a person's heart of heart by their nacho philosophy. Someone who cites the availability of nachos for all to be a great success and source of joy for the world are pure souls, while someone who bemoans that since everyone has nachos they suck is a twisted anti social individual.

I eat nachos, a global fusion food phenomenon, until the greasy cheese makes my stools loose. Then I use paper, a luxuriant material of rich academicians and clerks, to clean my rear end in a top hat until the grease is wiped off and contain the whole mess in a basin of the freshest, cleanest water available to man. I hit a lever and the now fouled water is simply dumped into a cistern for the gman to worry about. I am a god.
