Citation needed, and not to a Facebook Quiz-tier “how happy are you on a scale of ten” questionnaire.
My experience is obviously anecdotal, but it is quite varied, and the exact opposite.
- stego-tech 11mo agoI am not your search engine. If you have data that refutes my position, share it. Otherwise, personal experience is not indicative of a larger consensus or observed attitudes and outcomes, nor are “grass is greener” lamentations an acceptable supporting argument.
- FredPret 11mo agoUntil we mass-scan people’s brains, there will never be reliable data on this. Facebook-tier research and anecdote is all we’ll ever have on happiness. When “the larger consensus” is built on nothing but bullshit soft science coming out of the hard-left humanities departments and old Soviet propaganda that’s still echoing in people’s minds today, I’m just going to ignore it and form my own impression.
