How did they measure happiness? With a ruler and compass?
How do you measure it cross-culturally? It’s a farce metric that’s used by politicians because they can make it bend however they want. Ecuador is happy too, maybe we should be more like them? If Zimbabwe was happy would that be evidence we need to be more like Zimbabwe?
- jopsen 9y agoHow did they measure happiness? http://worldhappiness.report/ed/2017/ http://worldhappiness.report/ed/2017/ If people only care about politics when the system is broken, why do 80-90% vote in elections. My point is that people don't vote because the system is broken. People are more likely to vote if they believe it to make a difference. People in the US have lost faith in democracy. This is unlikely to cause more people to vote. I'm not offering a solution. Just that things are not magically going to become better because people are going to start voting when things are this bad.
