Vibe Quotes

The issue of false consciousness is a genuinely difficult problem that has no definite solution. We should not approve of an unequal and brutal society because surveys show that people are happy. But who has the right to tell those oppressed women or starving landless peasants that they shouldn’t be happy, if they think they are? Does anyone have the right to make those people feel miserable by telling them the ��?truth’? There are no easy answers to these questions, but they definitely tell us that we cannot rely on ��?subjective’ happiness surveys to decide how well people are doing.
