happiness... can’t be optimized or quantified
Neither of these is true in my experience. Happiness definitely can be optimized by changing your lifestyle (less stressful work, more free time, a healthy diet, regular exercise, adequate sleep, etc). To see it from the other direction, consider how events like onset of chronic pain and permanent disabilities negatively impact long-term happiness.
- _bxg1 8y agoObviously happiness can be increased, but it can't be solved. You can't get yourself, much less all of society, to a particular place and just say "welp, that's it, perfect happiness is achieved forever". Not with infinite resources and political power could you do this. It goes against human nature.
