If you don't understand how uncritically engaging in hedonism is bad for society as a whole, I don't know what else to add. You're the one advocating for doing whatever you like with no regard for others.

Your concept of Hedonism is uncritical and severely narrow. It is a broad term that encompasses lots of philosophies. For instance social hedonism is about minimizing pain and maximizing pleasure at a societal level. Chasing immediate pleasure for oneself is a popculture definition.

I said "uncritically engaging in hedonism" is bad. Uncritically engaging in almost anything is bad, but they had said "it's pretty bad ass to be happy regardless of how others judge you" and that does not make any distinction between what does and does not negatively impact others. I have a concept of hedonism, sure, but I did not state it in any of my comments. I'm responding to that persons idea which seems to have no regard for others.
