These type studies are silly but sometimes amusing. Anyhow, people should think about what would make the GOOD society. Can the greatest happiness principle have validity? Should we be doing that which if done universally would be universally good?

Somehow we have to overcome the status quo ideology of the dreadful capitalist system.
