lol give the poor guy a chance, hes studying sociology u cant expect him to know too much about actual science

Aren't you making the same argument from that philosopher from South Africa you debated, in which you said that this measuring is arbitrary?

I can see this. I remember difficult periods as much more emotional then happy ones. Also, happiness transcends to content very quickly.

Yep. The reduction of pain is the goal .

It's a kin to 'doing enough to maintain'...as long as you don't fall behind, you're still in a sense of relative maintenance

The biggest pain comes from not knowing your own individuality and being content in who you are. This pain leads to the need of exceptance by others. A tribal mind set arises where you are no longer a power of one but gain a feeling of power from the power of the tribe.

Seems pretty common sense to me, and the difference between the two strikes me as viscerally stark.
