| 11:00:52 | SLacker | Sat Batra: ready Futura? |
| 11:01:05 | SLacker | Lucifer Darrow: ready googlebot? |
| 11:01:07 | SLacker | Futura: Who are you talking about? |
| 11:01:07 | googlebot | almost never |
| 11:01:23 | SLacker | Lucifer Darrow: OK, let's get started |
| 11:01:42 | SLacker | Sat Batra takes a seat |
| 11:01:50 | SLacker | Lucifer Darrow: the topic today is "The relation between rationality and happiness" |
| 11:02:21 | SLacker | Lucifer Darrow: does rationality lead to happiness? |
| 11:02:31 | SLacker | Lucifer Darrow: are rational people happier on average? |
| 11:02:35 | SLacker | Sat Batra ponders |
| 11:02:48 | SLacker | Lucifer Darrow: What have we seen empirically? |
| 11:02:57 | SLacker | Lucifer Darrow: What do we expect theoretically? |
| 11:03:09 | SLacker | Sat Batra: I think that depends on the application of rationality in a given case. |
| 11:03:12 | SLacker | Lucifer Darrow: If there are discrepancies, how do we explain it? |
| 11:03:41 | SLacker | Lucifer Darrow: How so, Sat? |
| 11:03:58 | SLacker | Sat Batra: As in Q praxis as a rational method as applied to one's own life. |
| 11:04:13 | SLacker | Sat Batra: In that case I see rationality as increasing happiness... |
| 11:04:22 | SLacker | Lucifer Darrow: You will have to explain "Q praxis" to the newcomers |
| 11:04:32 | SLacker | Sat Batra: as rational choices are most ofter best for the individual... |
| 11:04:55 | SLacker | Sat Batra: Q being, in short, a measure for quality in ones life... |
| 11:05:18 | SLacker | Lucifer Darrow nods |
| 11:05:25 | SLacker | Sat Batra: praxis being a methodology or application of theory. |
| 11:06:00 | SLacker | Lucifer Darrow: so "Q praxis" is the practice of applying rationality to increase one's happiness? |
| 11:06:14 | SLacker | Sat Batra: on the other hand the rational person may encounter mental anguish when examining the world around himself in it's unrational state. |
| 11:06:22 | SLacker | Sat Batra: In this context yes Lucifer. |
| 11:06:45 | SLacker | Sat Batra: I;d define Q praxis as taking the theory of Q and applying it to one's life... |
| 11:07:05 | SLacker | Sat Batra: Rationality is one of the methods of Q increase... a major one. |
| 11:07:16 | SLacker | Lucifer Darrow: what other methods are there? |
| 11:07:31 | SLacker | Sat Batra: As increasing Q, or long term overall life quality... |
| 11:07:43 | SLacker | Lucifer Darrow: we'll focus on rationality in this chat, I'm just curious about other methods |
