Nature compels us to pursue pleasure and rewards our prudence with health and happiness; vain beliefs and empty opinions deceive us into believing that life should be a vicious struggle, or that unhappiness is the only guarantee.

They should absorb the difference between empirical evidence versus logical proofs. They pretend that "logic" is just as good as evidence, but ... which kind? Mathematical? Propositional? Deductive? Inductive? Analogical? They're each contradictory. I'll take the advice of my own eyes, thanks.

Ironically, the "Epicurean Paradox" does not come from Epicurus. We receive this from the sceptic David Hume (who misattributes it to Epicurus, per Lactantius). It reflects an observation from the third book of Sextus Empiricus' 'Outlines of Pyrrhonism'; the trilemma is a critique from the Skeptics.
