Less important is the answer to the question "what do you want out of life" than the answer to the question "what pain will you endure in your life?"

My theory on life is this:

Life is like a bottle rocket being shot out of someone's rear end in a top hat. Sometimes you're the bottle rocket, escaping your smelly prison and soaring off into the heavens... and sometimes you're the smelly rear end in a top hat that is left behind that has just been been badly scorched by the escaping bottle rocket's flames, meaning that every poo poo over the next week will be excruciatingly painful as the turd rubs up against your terribly burnt anus.

As soon as the money leaves your hands you are abdicated of whatever sin is committed with that dough, but it does mean that you are responsible for the cash up until that point so like purchase poo poo wisely and purchase stuff from places you like.
If you mean 'worldview' like politics lol good luck buddy that shits been shown to be dead since like the 80s all you can do now is attempt to earn and distribute money in ways you see fit, we're long past the point of ideology meaning anything other then 'where do u put the subsidies'.

Im a moderate hedonist because I either lack the courage or have too much sense to be a radical hedonist. I mean look where radical hedonism got crowley: a nasty rear end harem, opium addiction, and every std known to man. No tanks.

Not exactly. Epicureanism is a specific philosophy. Like hedonism it finds pleasure as the highest of lifes goals by way of denying the validity of supernatural explanations and deciding that of all observable processes, it is pleasure which is most capable of making us content. Unlike hedonism however, epicureanism holds that the absence of suffering is the greatest pleasure (wrong, it cheez whiz blowjobs) and advocates for a life of simplicity.

you misunderstand Epicureanism. eating cheese whiz and blowjobs is very important, but it is even more important to live a moderate life so that you can obtain as much blowjobs and cheese whiz as you can over time. if you focus on only the whiz at first you will obtain but a little, but if you develop yourself and gain wealth and respect you can obtain more whiz in the long run.

moderation isn't the goal, its the strategy

Youre right, that isnt epicureanism as I understand it. Everything I've read about it has stated that epicureanism is more about limiting pain and suffering theough various methods (knowledge, harmonious relationships, moderation) than it is about obtaining pleasures. To an epicurean, the lack of suffering IS the greatest pleasure. Which is bs.

God sent Adam and Eve out of Eden because he was scared they would become divine.

But regardless, even if heaven and hell are real, there's no point to it because after the war between heaven and hell whoever's left will just be sitting around oh boy so great wowee what a wonderful end goal.

Are you talking about the Eden part? Go to Genesis and read the part before God sends them out, he says that because they've gained wisdom from eating the fruit, they might become as powerful as him. He also purposefully makes the Pharaoh not let the jews leave Egypt so he can show the Egyptians how cool he is.
