After some passionate kissing and heavy petting I assume. That's usually how it goes.

I got through a few pages of name calling and gave up. "I'm so much smarter than you, you're so much dumber, you might be more educated but your daddy paid for it, I think, and my education is better than yours and you're a pompous ass and elph is better than you"

When that's all they do you know it's because they realize just how inadequate they are at having a discussion.

If you need a new religion I have a completely objective take on “well-being”

It sounds a little fuzzy until you donate to Sam Harris’ Patreon page.

I'd say its more about well-being than "well-being". I don't know what's so complicated about the idea: if the participants agree on a goal and there is a finite set of decisions, than it is possible to objectively decide on the best course of action to achieve the goal.
