I meant your idea about flat vs. scaling ratio. I don't see the connection between that and what you said in that last post.

And certainly, people don't breeze through life in a state of perpetual euphoria, and likely never will, but it is also certain that suffering has greatly decreased in recent centuries.

On a related note, how happy people are is a state of mind that often has little to do with how well-off they ACTUALLY are. Exhibit A: Upper-middle class suburban emo kids.

P.S. "and the rich aren't necissarily on top when it comes to this happiness and "Standard of Life" depending on which values you perfer in the ratio." Did you have the impression that I was saying that money buys happiness? I certainly apologize if I said something to imply that.


It seems like you were saying the rich have a higher standard of living... and therefore should pay more.  When in reality they don't. 

Basically I can't figure out what your arguement is in general of what this "first money" provides that so much more valuable then any other money.
