        Literally almost everyone who has money naturally has a high P value

        Trust fund babies talking about how hard they’ve worked is a meme for a reason

        I bet there’s some interesting analysis that could prove that p can be partially defined by m

          I knew this would come up, and you are absolutely right. But apart of the bourgeoisie who really have some parts of their brains wired differently, us “normal” people even if we are successful we suffer from imposter syndrome or burn out.

        enough

        I think you underestimate the extremes we could go to with the directive to keep adding money until it works.

        I dunno. With enough money, “yes men” can be employed to tell me how much I deserve to be the boss, and books I’m uncomfortable with can be removed from my local library. /s

        Edit: But I would never do that. Simple delusions of grandeur are easier to achieve and have fewer network externalities.

    The real fantasy is clearly a VR suit with a food tube and a lack of perception that you’re in the VR suit with a food tube.

    That’s the short form equation that ignores environmental pressure, the long form has a separate term that accounts for shelter and sentience as a factor between 0 and 1, as well as a quotient for empathy with a numerator of associate happiness.

    Seems to me this is more like the equation that maximizes happiness for people who don’t have the mentioned things.

    Plenty of people have food, money and sex, rightfully obtained from their perception, yet are still very unhappy, even suicidal. This is what you think you need. It’s not even necessarily what you need.

    Oh I definitely need some strife. It can just be me vs situation like my current position trying to run an efficient dispensary, but I need the challenge way more than the perception of earning or owning. I gotta be solving problems and completing tasks. I can’t live idly.

    Perception is the hardest that destroy the equation. All have their personal own, there isn’t a universal right perception, common is living a lie to keep going.

    Is the word “from” missing from the equation explanation? Should it be “… that you have earned FROM the first three?”

      No, it might help to add a “the” before “perception”.
