Not exactly!.

Better, maybe!. Less conflicted!. Purer!.

But not more real, nor more human!. Humanity has a long-standing tradition of callousness, cruelty and sadism!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Based on my observation of good men, yes, this is true!. Based on my experiences at times of being a bad man, it again proves it to be true!. (The experiences as a bad man were not real and true human pleasures but base in nature!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com

It really depends on what you mean by 'valid'!. Do you literally mean valid, in the sense of givenall he premises, the conclusion must follow!?

I certainly don't think it's true!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

A good man pleasures will not harm himself or others!.As simple as that!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
