If N is number of your biological kids and S is standard of living, I think happiness is approximately N*S. The more complicated formulas would take into account you as your own kids (with double coefficient), and your grandchildren (with less coefficient). Also I think the formula should tilt to bigger N rather than just higher S. Moreover, that S already takes into account privileges and power.
In other words, politicians, even though lowly paid, must be one of the happiest people on earth for being able to screw the rest of us. The same ways absolutely poor voters are still happy because he still has “a country” filled with milking cows he can squeeze dry as “assets”.
I think a better model should take into account hatred against those who are different. That would explain all these anti porn movement. Even though porn is good for EVERYONE, many hate porn because it’s good for some people even more than it’s good for them.
Prostitution benefits the pretty more than the ugly, so it’s illegal. It also benefits the rich more than the poor, so it’s illegal.
That’s what I think is the true model of humans’ utility function. Trying to come up what’s good for everyone is difficult because what’s good for someone always means unhappiness of the other. Yes we can all be richer. But the fact that someone is richer will make many unhappy. And that’s the real reason behind socialism and fascism and pretty much all other economic system.
I think my model is justified by evolutionary psychology because other humans are competitors and deep inside, we just want to get rid competitors.
Coefficient for cousin should be 1/8 and for nephew and niece should be 1/4. Your kid is .5 and yourself is 1. So you love yourself, but you also love your kid at the rate of .5 of you love yourself. Love can be measured by effort to maximize gene pool survival rather than just money. So if your kid is dying, you would cut off your beer drinking because the ratio between the need to drink beer and the need to be alive is lower than the love coefficient, which is .5.
Your wife has 0 love coefficient because she’s not your family. She is only useful to breed. More like business partner or customers. I supposed past mutually beneficial transaction create incentive to be useful to each other, that’s pretty much it.
This explains why most marriage ends up in divorce. There is simply no “love” in the air. She’s not your family. Your offspring out of her belly is, assuming it’s really yours, but she isn’t. She’s just useful because both you and her have some common interests, namely helping your children producing grandchildren (or get rich bang bitches or whatever).
I agree with Willie’s comment. Don’t attack the marriage but the rules. However, we need to sort out definition. What I mean by marriage, the one I hate so much and should be destroyed, is by definition the kind of contract that government endorse, namely civil marriage. So the rule comes with the very meaning of marriage it self.
Also attacking the rule rather than marriage itself doesn’t address the problem. The very problem of marriage is government make the rule. The problem is not WHAT the rule is. The problem is WHO makes the rule.
I have no problem with privatized marriage where people draft their own contract. I honestly believe that even if not prohibited, marriage contract the way it currently is, will disappear by itself. More reasonable contracts like sugar babies relationship will attract more people.
However, currently many other alternative contracts easily enforced without governments’ intervention is illegal. That is the big issue. Prohibiting marriage will create enough political pressure to get other contracts legalized.
Yes we can die due to drinking alcohol and stuff. And that’s the issue. Who should decide whether some risky behavior is worth doing or not? Individuals or government?
My idea of happiness is written in a book, “Get Rich Bitches Bang” free copies for you.
Basically I embrace the idea that humans are selfish. However, our self is not just I as an individual but also my families weighted by genetic similarity. I think this model would correctly predict most humans’ behavior.
Also I think happiness is GDP of your offspring weighted by genetic similarity. Έτσι, εάν έχετε 5 kids and each is a millionaire, you will be happier than having only 1 millionaire kid. Having 5 mediocre kids is so so.
Of course you also want your nephew or grand children to be filthy rich too, but it’ll be in the future, and they will have lower coefficient. Anyone would spend more money for his own children than his cousin. However, if your cousin is really poor, most people would spend some money for that nephew too. Which is around 1/4th due to genetic similarity with children is higher (.5) compared to niece, which is 1/8.
Take into account not only economic assets that your offspring control but also political assets.
Για παράδειγμα, citizenship in US worth around $200k I think. That means it’s very natural that any poor American citizen would breed like rabbit. They effectively get rewarded $200k for example. Όντως, they’ll breed more than the rich because $200k worth more to them than to the rich.
If we want more details, citizenship of any country tend to be worth more for the poor than the rich. Rich people like Eduardo pretty much dump his citizenship to avoid tax while the poor value it more.
If we done proper math, I think happiness is some balance between financial success, political success (converted to monetary value), and number of offspring.
In western civilization, they aim to have higher per-capita income which they can easily achieve by having fewer kids. That’s fine. To me, that’s just half of success. Why make billions if you have no or few kids?
The jews achieved huge economic success and then ended up slaughtered. There are very few of them. To me, that’s not happiness.
Then we have emperors with huge political success. I suppose that’s theΩστόσοway on individual level. However, now it’s tough, and it’s not the kind of success that benefits humanity. Everyone wants to be emperor and we all kill each other.
I’d say becoming a multi-millionaire and have 4-5 beautiful young sugar babies is a reasonable goal everyone should achieve.
