What do you mean by dissipatively?

My dictionary hasn't caught up with your vocabulary yet ;)



Imagine what most people would do if they no longer had to work to survive.

Sit around, watch TV, etc.

Specifically: "To indulge in the intemperate pursuit of pleasure."

Contains a more...nihilistic edge than hedonism though.
