Happy people have a different way of thinking and doing things. They maintain a positive attitude about people, things and life in general.
Anyhow there is a great story by Eliezer Yudkowsky (the_super_happy_people), where he describes the conflict among three civilizations: the humans (us), the Baby-Eaters (who want the humans to start eating their babies) and the Super-Happies (who want everyone to be super happy and are incapable of pain and suffering).
A dilemma arises whereby humans can either accept genetic reprogramming to make humans compatible with the Super-Happies, or, the humans can escape this "awful fate", but at great cost - by blowing up a solar system, sacrificing billions of people.
For some reason, most people, seem to think it self-evident that humanity ought to preserve its nature and sacrifice the several billion people to avoid merging with Super-Happies.
Ok I must admit I am going into extremes and he is going a little nuts, but wanting to remain human over super happy????? Don’t really get it…
