- refurb 3y agoI mean, people can be happy out of ignorance, and that ignorance can include things that contribute to high child mortality. I'm not sure we should be ok with high child mortality, just because people are happy.
- andrei_says_ 3y agoNo one is suggesting that and no one is suggesting that happiness is somehow the result of this.
- refurb 3y agoI'm the comment I'm reply to said "What matters more than happiness?". The point is, plenty of stuff matters more than just happiness.
- andrei_says_ 3y agoI see, thank you for clarifying.
