What happened to happiness not being a metric for virtue? Oooooooooh. It's a metric when it's convenient. It's convenient when you can use it as a cudgel to disparage your opposition for their lack of it. Or your a priori presupposition that they lack it.
Hym "I still maintain that happiness is a warm gun but you see how full of shit they (not the jews in general but those people specifically) are? Just a second ago happiness isn't the thing you for which you should be striving. Like.... You have 100 videos of YOU saying that happiness is not a measure of virtue. And now you are using lack of happiness as evidence of LACK of virtue. You can't have it both ways. My proposition isn't even that you SHOULDN'T have kids. It's that having children is divorced from virtue in the way that happiness was divored from virtue... I mean, up until 69 second ago. You'd think you'd try to push back on the deceitful jew stereotype by... you know... not being deceitful... or not being a jew.... convert to MY religion. You don't get to be the intimation of God anymore but... You know there's good television for you to watch... 🤷 This is what the 'reality is perception' crowd is like. Reality isn't reality. Reality is how I'm framing it from moment to moment. Regardless of the lack of continuity in my speech. Look at him. Watch him. Watch him try to reframe it so he can have it both ways. Or just distance himself from the position until you forget and then use one or the other of the two opposing positions, whenever it's convenient."

Get the Happymug. Micro happiness is a state of pleasure derived from small, fleeting moments of personal joy and a sense of accomplishment. These moments can be achieved by such trivial things as winning a video game, successfully cooking a difficult meal, driving to work and hitting nothing but green stoplights, enjoying a really good cup of coffee, cleaning one's house to perfection, etc. These are all temporary accomplishments which only impact the moment, have little bearing on one's entire life as a whole. They trigger endorphins, a critical brain hormone which causes temporarily bliss and tranquility. Daily rounds of micro happiness are are emotional landmarks for helping a person get through the day with satisfaction, and deemed critical to one's sense of self worth.
The larger accomplishments of life would induce states of "macro happiness," such as marrying an ideal mate, having a healthy well-adjusted child, landing a dream job, overcoming a deadly disease like cancer, winning a major award in one's professional field, etc.
An unhealthy preoccupation with pursuing micro happiness can become a trap for low income people whose life is so limited that pursuing the larger goals (macro happiness) is close to impossible. So they might abandon any hope of striving after macro goals, and instead settle into a never ending, daily ritual of chasing after an assortment of micro goals. They become reliant on the endorphin-producing moments of micro happiness they temporarily trigger.
