“Goals like 'maximum happiness for the greatest number' are called double optimism in mathematics. Mathematically, it is known that the double optimum cannot be solved in general. In other words, in general there is no ideal state that maximizes two variables at the same time. Therefore, the greatest happiness of the greatest number is impossible from the beginning.” ~Masayuki Osawa
I feel like this should be a conversation about policy, not about semantics.
