Happiness is the only worthwhile measure? (none / 0)

Perhaps THIS is what we should be thinking about?

Perhaps, but in policy debate mainstream economists play on their home turf. We have to beat them there first and then we can change the rules of the game.

It's just a conceptual metaphor.

See? This is why you don't want my brain. Everyting is connected to everything else in there, it's kind-of exhausting.

Yep - I wouldn't get much for your brain on ebay - its been too used.

Give me a mint-in-box brain with 100 billion fresh neurons and I could probably swop it for something really worthwhile.

But I will get out of here now and leave the thread to get serious...
