gollark: When people talk about stuff being detrimental to society it's also typically about more than expected long-run happiness delta but also brings in "degradation of moral fabric" cultural-shift-type issues.
gollark: Well, you seem to be using it as a justification to allow/not allow things.
gollark: Also, I don't think stuff is *generally* regulated based on summing up long term expected happiness change or something? Perhaps it should be, but it's very hard to calculate and runs into problems, and (in my opinion as a libertarian-leaning person) leads to stuff which is "out of scope" of government actions.
gollark: You're stereotyping in some vaguely rude way with ~0 empirical data to back it up.
gollark: I suspect you're ridiculously overgeneralizing and/or, er, what's the word, patronising? a bunch of people.
