See note on ambiguity at the end of my second post.

Also, one ambiguity that may be creating misunderstanding on both our parts: Ideally, no one should be generally unhappy, no matter what state the world is in. What they should be is unhappy about things, so that they can work harder to solve them -- and they should be unhappy about things in proportion to how bad they are.

This is great -- if you can, this insight should be turned into another top-level post.
