Have a friend who puts it this way: happiness is what you feel when you're getting what you want. So wanting to feel happy is almost a type error. What you want is what you want, and happiness is a side effect of getting that, not something to chase for its own sake.https://twitter.com/QiaochuYuan/status/1127351563486253056 …

Hm define want? Revealed preferences vs stated preferences seems tricky here
Neither of those gets at what I mean by "want." I mean something more like "hunger for." E.g. I think lots of people are hungry for love but it won't be either a stated or revealed preference, for lots of reasons.

Yeah ppl's internal conflicts make "revealed preference" not a very meaningful term. May help predict their behavior, but not a preference because no part of them actually prefers that behv. Like how a political compromise can be a plan everyone hates.
