Hedonism is a philosophy that posits that pleasure is the sole objective good and thus pain something bad.
This whole thing is about trying to find shortcuts to get to the pleasure of having a nice body while circumventing the pain and effort.
Pain and efforts are important, they forge character like nothing else. If you want to live in a world where adult-children simply take their soma to get what they want, you're just not thinking about the consequences.
