  1. @roidroid well i did my own math. In Australia $60,000 USD is the equivalent of $74,703 AUD (PPP). So that's how much an Aussie would have to earn per year to avoid the unhappiness of poverty mentioned in this vid. Actually, i'm not sure the original $60,000 figure is before or after Tax.

  2. What kindof effect does longterm experiencial happiness have on a person? Even if they don't remember it. Does it have any kindof lasting impact? If we don't remember happiness (think the movie "Memento") - should we even bother? Unless there are some lasting benefits. So are there?

  3. also, that $60,000/yr figure was very interesting. Does anyone know howto convert that to PPP (Purchasing Power Parity) dollars in various other currencies?
