Hedons are, of course, good things, it's the word "efficiently" which hinted at wireheading for me. And there is a tension between "some hedons right now" and "potentially more hedons, but later".

(I don't know why that particular choice of three.)

These are the traditional "sin" products (they're missing loose women in that list X-D).

From a hedon perspective, I am not sure why a pot of rice is better than a jug of palm wine.
