The Pursuit of Happiness: Exploring the Intersection of Public Policy and Well-being

As a blogger who recently transitioned from “TheMoneyIllusion” to a new platform called The Pursuit of Happiness, I am excited to delve into thought-provoking discussions on how public policies can impact our overall happiness and well-being.

One question that I find particularly intriguing is this: What are the public policies that you oppose, even though you believe they could ultimately make the world a happier place in the long run?

I am not looking for theoretical or unrealistic scenarios involving abstract concepts like “utility monsters.” Instead, I am interested in real-world examples of policies that you may personally oppose, despite recognizing their potential to improve societal happiness.

Feel free to challenge my utilitarian perspective by presenting policy examples that you believe I should also oppose. Your insights could lead to a deeper understanding of the complexities involved in crafting effective public policies that truly enhance well-being.

And before you dismiss this question as irrelevant or misguided, remember that exploring divergent viewpoints is essential for fostering meaningful dialogue and intellectual growth.

On a philosophical note, a Straussian interpretation of this discussion suggests that utilitarianism, much like navigating through dense fog, may not always offer clear-cut solutions when evaluating the efficacy of public policies. Similarly, Bayesian analysis reminds us of the inherent uncertainties and trade-offs involved in decision-making processes.

To add a touch of historical context, here’s a visual representation of Jeremy Bentham, a prominent advocate of utilitarianism:
