I just think it’s a bit disingenuous to talk about happiest nations and not control for antidepressant consumption, because obviously there’s a deficit of happiness if people are turning to pills.

My feeling is that the happiest people probably live in places that are both prosperous and have a pleasant climate; the little European possessions of the Caribbean are probably a good example.

I disagree with him about some things and agree with him about some things, but he’s thoughtful and articulate, and I always learn something from listening to him and his guests.

Surely nobody disagrees with him about everything, so it puzzles and annoys me that there are people here who think he should be completely absent from the subreddit just because he believes some things that other people don’t believe. It’s so childish and intolerant, but unfortunately that’s the direction western civil society is going.
