As a hedonic utilitarian I think it might actually be immoral for these individuals to not spend much more time in Jhana.

The fact that it's only themselves they are hurting doesn't really seem to change the matter. Unless their job/life is so beneficial to others as to make up for the difference they are choosing to fill the world with more suffering and less pleasure than they could by spending more time in that state.

Also I gotta get my act together and quit lazying out on meditation.
