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?
