oh no, i meant ignorance-based happiness is indistinguishable from happiness generated in other ways and is just as Valid
its indistinguishability doesn't hold up because ignorance is fragile and is removed instantly upon learning, and that's an irreversible process. so fragile bliss contingent upon never learning the truth vs. durable happiness with full awareness of the limits of that feeling.
I would strongly disagree with the idea that happiness is 'durable' or that its loss is 'irreversible,' myself.
the loss of ignorance is what's irreversible. whether or not happiness is durable is a hard question. Russel proposing a system that considers truth-finding a high virtue because that is likely to produce more durable forms of happiness.
