Statistical Correlations

watch this asshole cavort for 20 minutes if you can stomach it.
Dan Gilbert on Happiness

so your results are reproducible. the self-reported happiness of a bunch of morons does not concern me. Much of humanity shares similar biases (such as justifying a choice by ranking the choice we didn't make lower than we otherwise would if we had no investment in the choice as in the video)

This does NOT justify you dictating what will make me happy. I am not the average person.
The problem with happiness research is socialists will grab onto it as justification for central planning. "You don't really know what makes you happy, these decisions are best left to experts".

FUCK THAT SHIT
