Alright here’s a list, since I don’t feel like compiling one myself. This is specifically about wealth, but all the other things mentioned in the post are closely releated to that.
But also I really think there has been some misunderstanding: I didn’t say the stuff mentioned doesn’t make some bad things go away. It does, it actually solves some of the most burning problems we currently have. But it also makes a society that will sooner or later feel unhappy in a different way. It’s a pessimistic view on world, but I can really relate to it.
That’s a good link, the author has a bachelor’s in philosophy, so that gives it some credibility, and he is providing a nuanced summary of some philosophers’ views on individual wealth. Schopenhauer is the only one to come close to what you’re saying, and he’s famously the most depressed/depressing guy to ever have walked the earth, not that that means he should be discredited of course. As a list this in no way backs up your point about wealth on a societal level.
Just because you identify with an idea that does not make it true.
That’s not a source, that’s just a new baseless claim. Give statistics on “every philosopher who wrote about the concept of happiness” or sit down.
