    I feel that is implicit on maximising pleasure. To have little treats often, while also keeping yourself alive so you can have more little treats.

    If I died tomorrow from an OD I would not have maximised pleasure in my life. Because I would have ended it early.

    But if I lived constantly denying myself every single pleasure and creature comfort because ‘I need to earn it’, I would also not be maximising pleasure in my life.

      You feel it’s implicit in the wording, but that’s just your interpretation of the phrase, which is why it’s important to specify.
