You are missing the original point.

What choice?

The choice to get out of bed (Q-1) remember?

the cause for the enjoyment need not even be known for it to be a valid rational motivator.

A) Activated pleasure centers do not a logical motivator make.
B) Who's talking about causes? I'm asking why you choose to make your decisions based on enjoyment. What is the logic behind living for enjoyment? If it feels good, do it? You know this is not logic. Surely a rational man who values his sovereignty of will is deeper than that.

Enjoyment is like temperature, it's always positive.

I've got a morphine drip for you.

Everything can be known by observation and reason.

Except perhaps why you got out of be this morning?

What's the real reason - or is it that underneath all the reasoning, there is something else?

They sure can be.

<>"B) Who's talking about causes? I'm asking why you choose to make your decisions based on enjoyment."

I didn't say I based them on enjoyment. I said I get up, because I value life and that a sufficient reason for that is, becuase I enjoy it.

"What is the logic behind living for enjoyment?"

Logic is a process, not a philosophy.

"If it feels good, do it? You know this is not logic."

Apparently you didn't comprehend my last post.

You just don't like my answer.

"What's the real reason - or is it that underneath all the reasoning, there is something else?"

There is nothing else that isn't encompassed by love of life.
