I actually had a long philosophical conversation about this (in a bed in a
Palo Alto hotel, oddly enough, though its not what you think :-). The
problem I have with that philosophy is that it offers no guidance on how to
reconcile "party on" with "being excellent." The former tends towards
selfish-indulgence, and the latter to self-denial.
The conclusion I drew was that "Love your neighbor as yourself" actually
-did- resolve the paradox, by stating that way to benefit yourself was to
benefit others. Thus proving Jesus superior to Bill & Ted. :=)
