Toby, what are your grounds for thinking that (ethical) hedonism is true, other than that happiness appears to be something that almost everyone wants? Is it something you just find so obvious you can’t question it, or are there reasons that you can describe? (The obvious reason seems to me to be “We can produce something that’s at least roughly right this way, and it’s nice and simple”. Something along those lines?)
