claim: ending prohibition would do more about the inequality that matters than any other intervention, but not for the usually cited reasons

happiness studies is a fake domain of fake science but there’s evidence for the claim that most people are happy http://personal.lse.ac.uk/KANAZAWA/pdfs/PSPR2015.pdf …

affect inequality (specifically some people having bad affect) is at base level what we care about and what matters

almost all drugs that improve affect are illegal but very cheap to produce under free market conditions. that’s it

(Honest questions) 1. What is the "fake science" of which it is a fake domain? 2. (Maybe obvious to others) Is there evidence that some illegal drugs lift affect in the long run, if used like Prozac would be? As opposed to getting on an affect roller coaster that's hard 2get off?
