Are you saying that they are happier because so many unhappy ones were successful in committing suicide? Or are you saying that the prospect of suicide makes living, unhappy people happier? Or something else?
I was being sarcastic about the absurd, pseudo-scientific claim that socialism causes happiness. Leftists like science after its been prostituted to Leftism.
Good question you ask of Stephen Grossman. Partly because my brother committed suicide, I've been reading about suicide in the 53 years since he did so. One thing that comes out pretty clearly is that people who commit suicide often get very happy (relatively) once they've decided to do so. But before they've decided to do so, they are miserable, which is why they decided to commit suicide.
I’m sorry to hear that about your personal story, and also sorry to hear of the temporary improvement in happiness that precedes a suicide attempt. I’d hope that the number of Scandinavians intending to commit suicide is small enough that it has insufficient t power to explain the differences here.
It makes no sense to say that Scandinavians are happier than Americans when their suicide rate is higher.
Maybe theyre happier because they know that suicide will end their unhappiness.
🎶Suicide is painless.
It brings on many changes.
And I can take or leave it,
If I please.🎶

Thanks, Max Lib. Yes. The idea that it's a large number that would affect aggregate data is untenable.
