My view on true happiness is that happiness is good and the system that creates the most happiness with the least suffering is the best system.

I'm having trouble understanding which part of that you oppose. Is it your opinion that there should be less happiness total or that all happiness should cost equal or greater suffering?

    My view is that a system based on harm, suffering, exploitation and oppression causes an unjust ceiling to the available happiness

    Edit: not even a subjective view, that's how it actually is

    Progress is blocked arbitrarily by sticking to "it's not that bad somewhere" thinking

    The system that demonstrably has the least suffering is built upon suffering? How do you figure?

    It's like I'm arguing with Bizarro Superman.

    Let's put it this way: Why do you want the system to cause even that amount of suffering when it doesn't need to be mandatory at all

    Edit I see the reply talking in circles just two comments apart. Unbelievable Epstein/capitalist apologia
