... okay, fine, whatever. It's extremely well studied and so well understood, and people are happier than ever, across the board. So what do "People are mad because being mad is fun" and "as seductive as "everything is terrible" even refer to? What's the problem?
The problem is what I was originally replying to - people making false claims about reality. This makes improving the world substantially harder because misinformation affects what choices people make in their daily lives and in elections.
