We’ve been wrong about a key contributor to human happiness

And you're upset because it wasn't punk rock?

If you guys are not happy here is a video of a guy quietly taking a dump in the bush when a python got him. This could have been you, so you should be happy:

I think I heard this conversation on NPR the other day. Typical leftist bullshit pseudo science. "and the paper concludes we need more communism".

Our society is infested by idiots pretending to do science. We have an entire class of people with advanced degrees in bullshit running statistical models to pretend to prove what they already believe to be true. They arent frauds though because no one believes their bullshit as much as they do. They are delusional and pseudo intelligent. If you listen to NPR they dont even talk like normal people. They all talk with some fake accent or overly nasal.

What could be more obvious that happiness is highly individualistic and an unmeasurable subjective temporary state. I am happy now but I can never be as happy as I was at 19 when the world was a mystery and anything was possible. I wouldnt have been happier at 19 +$100k. It would just be a different baseline and starting point because all this is sensitive to initial conditions.

Another classic in this field but at least everyone knows this is a joke

Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?

100%.

Rural over suburbia everytime.

Im sure its a global thing but I know that out here they are building nice new houses in nice new neighbourhoods but the eaves almost overlap and you can listen to the neighbours dinner table conversation from your own dinner table.

Thats no way to live for me.

The resemblance of cities to cow pens and feed lots is uncanny from the air. In both cases, they barely even know they're trapped!

*edit- heard from a martial arts guru: "It's not the treasure that makes life worth living, it's the journey to the treasure". Anyone who found their profitable method in trading probably knows how boring it all is at the end, but money can buy some fun toyz

So you're saying you lacked freedom and control?

The difference between a bull and a cow has been the key to understanding why I've always been unhappy in this society ruled by women. It starts in childhood at home, then schools, then HR departments, and finally the CEO of most big co's is now someone from Venus.

Bulls are determined, calm, super strong and yet trainable beasts, with ballz. And that little sack in the back produces something that makes him who he is. Cut it off and he's like a female, only stronger and calmer.

Do you think they would like to get all males into this improved state so they get along more? I seen it with my own eyes in the cube colony.

Screw that!
