 So one way to try to start answering this question about, you know, whether you agree with Epicurus and then what what does that mean is, you know, trying to figure out whether we can determine what's necessary for us. All right, so do I get to say this is necessary, this is necessary, this is necessary, and the truth of that judgment is just whether I say it or not. So being kind of a, you know, sort of like Hume, right, a subjectivist about what I absolutely need. As opposed to, you know, what I need is determined by something other than what I decide, right? The way the world is, the way my body is, the way that the physical laws of nature work, something like that. And yeah, you know, I don't get to decide that I need water. Right? I'm going to live without water, it'd be just fine. You'll be dead real fast. You know, I'm going to decide that I don't need air anymore. You'll be dead even faster. So you certainly don't get to decide, at the very least, the bare minimum. Do you get to decide that something more than that is what you need? No, right? Because you know, if you really think that you get to decide that you need coffee, you know, I guess you can try to do that. But coffee, frankly, doesn't offer any real nutritional benefit that water and these other, you know, other foods do. In fact, it's degrading to your health. It's wearing away at your kidney. Same thing with alcohol. I'm wearing away at your kidneys in your liver. So yeah, you don't get to decide what's necessary for you. So at the very least, I mean, if you try to disagree with Epicurus about what your bare necessities are, you know, like, I can do less than what Epic, you know, what is actually my bare necessities. Yeah, you're probably going to die. You're, at the very least, your health is going to suffer and you're going to be miserable. If you try to decide that you need more than that, I mean, I don't know why you'd want to for starters, because it is that much extra effort to go in after these further desires. So, you know, you're almost shooting yourself in the foot trying to do this. Yeah, you know, trying to say, well, I'm going to be, I'm going to decide that I need coffee in order to survive. I don't even know why you'd want to. That's just one more thing if we're worried about. So, you can't decide what's necessary for you. All right. So, if you decide that you're going to pursue something that's more than necessary, why?
