Dear Randall,
As you say:

"material advancement" is a key qualifier. Empirically, more material
wealth
contributes to human happiness only up to a modest point. Beyond that
several
other sources of happiness play a far greater role, and relationships
with other
people heads the list, with the satisfactions of work that is not
drudgery close
behind. I guess that working in science and engineering probably
contributes significantly
to the happiness of ontologgers. Why else would we devote so much time
to this site? (02)
