I think matt is just trying to find an evolutionary reason to be happy, like if you can be happy, you have a better chance of surviving and passing on your genes, so thats why it would be considered "superior". If you read his other threads and some of the posts here, i dont think hes arguing that "im better than you are" - its more like, what is the optimal, natural state for a human being and why? Its more philosophical.

We dont really have a philosophy forum.
