> everyone wants to get stuff, lots of stuff without having to lift a finger. We don't know how to make such a world exist. The claim is not, "if we could snap our fingers and make the world look like anything we wanted, the happiest world we could create would also be the world with the most massive profits". It's closer to, "if we want to optimise for happiness going forward from the world we have, then we should also optimise for allowing companies to make profits". (Not to say I agree with the claim, but that particular argument is missing the point.)
