How to Measure Happiness
I think what you're saying is that if our goal is to make the world happier, then we should actually try to figure out how much interventions change happiness.

But I think you're arguing that it turns out just asking people how they feel is a pretty good measure. It's not perfect. There's a lot of ways to do it, but it seems like it tends to come to similar conclusions regardless of kind of which method you used to do it.
