Two fallacies I've been exploring: 1) The Arrival Fallacy: the belief that when you arrive at a certain destination, you'll be happy. 2) The Nihilism Fallacy: the belief that it's not possible to become happier

Found a 3rd one, the "floating world fallacy": The belief that immediate pleasure, cut off from future purpose, will bring happiness. And went deeper on all these fronts and wrote about fallacies as related to goals:https://www.ontheolo.com/blog/philosophy-of-goals …
Does the floating world fallacy as much to immediate hedonism as it does to the promise of fulfillment through meditation? You might find this interesting:https://youtu.be/jwG_qR6XmDQ

It's a good point you make, and one I think about a lot. Here's where I'm at: just present-moment fulfillment, without any focus on making the future world better, is a type of regressive spirituality enlightenment. And thanks - will queue this up later!

Emphasis On regressive in that sentence right?
