It’s not related to the post’s main point, but the U-shape happiness finding seems to be questionable. It looks more like it just goes lower with age by other analyses in general this type of research shouldn’t be trustedThe U-shaped happiness curve is wrong: many people do not get happier as they get older (theconversation.com)
Yeah, it kind of looks like all the unhappy people die by 50 and then average goes up. Conditioning on the figure being right in the first place.
[EDIT] looks like approximately 12% − 20% of people are dead by 50. Probably should not be that large of an effect on average? idk. Maybe I’m wrong.
