Article is a big-ass non-sequitur.

> What is the ultimate long-term goal? > Exploring and conquering all of the universe.

This is never really explained. The whole article uses this as a justification, but doesn't really explain why this is. It leads to a "nowhere" that is equally strong as the hedonism it denounces in my opinion.

> The boringness of existence without definite goals.

If you need external goals to feel non-boring, that's fine. But you are in some sense going to be a slave to those goals, and if another person has handed you these goals, you are a slave to them.

I am honestly fine without definite goals. There are common background activities and values, such as keeping myself healthy and strong so I can do what I want, and being friendly and helpful to others to make friends-good friends are pleasurable. But why "conquer" a universe when you can be happy with much less work? What are you going to do after that anyway?
