I would be interested to hear your arguments that Truth > Happiness. I think it is kind of hard to simply state that without backing it up with reasons.
shaih and I discussed this in the responses to my comment here and he updated away from this conclusion. (It is very easy to simply state conclusions without backing them up with reasons. I think you meant to say that it is not particularly persuasive.)
Yes that is what I was implying and you seem to have been successful in deriving that so I don’t really see the point in suggesting that I should have explained it differently.
I also would like to point out that Anthony didn’t disagree with me when i said it and accepted that assumption. When I can i’m going to use the arguments that Qiaochu_Yuan had and go back to talk with him to see if he will update as well.
