I’m 22, Male, an undergraduate at Singapore Management University studying information systems. Interest in AI.
I want to live a “good” life, but different people/culture uses different value systems to view life… some focus on the ‘Ending’, some focus on the ‘Journey’, some sees no value at all… Therefore, I’m looking for a way to objectively measure the value of a person’s life. (not sure if that is even possible)
Found LW while reading up on Singularity. Would love to make some LW friends. feel free to add me on facebook~ http://fb.me/mengxiang

Hi Xumx. Nice to meet a fellow resident of Singapore on LW. Yours is an interesting question, and another relevant TED talk, besides those mentioned by cousin_it and Dojan, is that of Alain de Botton ( youtube or ted.com ).

Try watching Daniel Kahneman’s TED talk The riddle of experience vs memory, it’s nice and seems relevant to your question.
Sam Harris also has a really good TED talk on “the Sience of Morality”
