I believe there is a science of happiness, though it is mostly inductive (experimental) in nature, not deductive. Introspection is not much use in determining what will make you happy. Here’s a thread on this subject I wrote recently, I would be happy to have your input.
And, by the way, what happened to your “How the State has outdone anarchy (until now)” thread? I’ve been thinking of the ideas presented there more and more frequently lately.
