Perfectly chosen flair! I cannot express my disgust against the original of this one. Those people don't want anyone to be happy.

So it disgusts you when people recommend doing things that lead to the most happiness?

If you want everyone to be happy, you probably ought to recommend they do the things which lead to happiness. But that would require moral courage, which is in scarce supply in the hive mind.

Awards and things are nice, and they may be valuable, but they don't in fact lead to the greatest happiness. The data tells us that.

My guy AEI.org is not reliable 😭. You speak of "fact" yet none of those link speak of their methodology or why they are competent. AEI is associated with the republican and have a strong bias. Also, the statistic is not shown in it's entiriety, it's only people who are "very happy". Where's the methodology of the statistic too?
