Happy Equilibrium!

heh, enjoying life is bad for you, now shut up and suffer.

One possible objection to this proposal remains--that happiness is not negatively valued. However, this objection is dismissed as scientifically irrelevant

Not bad for you, but that's scientifically irrelevent.

[Bobboau]

that's my favorite part.

[Kolgena]

What the hell? Did you write this?

[Klaustrophobia]

you would be the one to find this.

Kolgena: 1992, Liverpool University.  no.

[Kolgena]

Touche, noticed that after my post. So how did you manage to trawl up this thing?

(Also, there's a 1993 publication under the same title but different authors. Was it a review, or something sketchier?)

So is this happiness is bad as in a symptom of having a grape fruit sized tumor pressing up against your brain thats making you giggle at inappropriate ****, or life sucks and if your still happy you need to be treated for it?

I love journals that publish political critiques of bull**** trends in science.  Good on the authors =)

(For those that don't get it, one of the largest critiques of the DSM is that it bases a good proportion of diagnoses on statistical values of what is normal, which suffers from serious validity concerns).

[Rodo]

hahaha, I should be careful then when smiling... might cause the wrong diagnosis.

Slip up and ill Medicate u.
