So are you not interested in prioritizing human happiness, or are you interested yet refuse to do so?
I'm just a cynic who absolutely would, but understands that humans en masse are far more interested in getting mooaar than their fellow humans, and largely need humans to look down on to feel content, that what we want is incompatible with who and what we are, using all of human history, right into last century's most prominent genocide victims deciding genocide looks like fun and they'll have a go, as evidence.
I want humanity to get it's head out of its ass so that we can all maximize being a little happy instead of a relative view being gluttonously happy at the expense of most's misery, but I recognize that I might as well want humans to be able to flap their arms and magically start flying like birds, it's just as pointless and impossible, both are beyond our capacity.
It couldn't hurt to try. You have the will to do so.
