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.
