I think Its nostalgia that people are actually referring to when they talk about returning to a “child like state of curiosity and wonder”.

If we're thinking temporally, I can see the hedonism / nostalgia split: "living in the moment" vs "living in the past". But if consciousness itself is the metric, then hedonism = nostalgia: indulgence for a solipsistic purpose.

A wise and eternally-curious old Ukrainian woman I know said to me: "I have always found hedonism boring.I never understood what the hippies were doing." She said this after watching the movie "Spring Breakers" (!) at the cinema by herself.

Hedonism and nostalgia seem like they could be same sides of the same coin to me, now that you've said it. Both seem a bit boring and flat when viewed from the outside, when you're not caught in their thrall.

Nostalgia - Past, at the cost of present & future. Hedonism - Present, at the cost of past & future. ??? - Future, at the cost of present and past. Probably too litle-dimensional, but fun.

Portuguese have a word “saudade” which means something like nostalgia for things that never were. Some puritans And ascetics live by it

Does this mean that to fight nostalgia you should like your present self more?
