Comment on If you went to an island, and formed a new country and forcibly inject everyone there with a drug that makes them happy, you new country could surpass Finland as the "Happiest country in the world"

  I’ve been saying that the whole time. You’ve been fighting against windmills, sorry to say.

  our corruption is structured in a a very peculiar manner.

  I don’t think that is supported by studies or reports. As much as we like to feel special, we really aren’t even in this.

    Or, ro be precise, I’ve been trying to say that even though the corruption here could be much worse, it is a problem thait exists and Finns feel so super uncomfortable when you bring up the subject that they get very defensive, which inhibits their ability to work against corruption in their country.

    One way this can be commonly seen is that someone assumes I must be an idiot having such a view and assumes I then don’t understand basics such as “being among the beat doesn’t equal being perfect.” You’ve been assuming I’ve been fighting a windmill while there hasn’t been anyone near the windmill. You’ve heard my sounds, bur somehow mislocated me. And then you’ve spent some time trying to get me away from a windmill without noticing you’re at a wrong place.

    Maybe now, knowing that I hadn’t had the misunderstanding you thought I had, go read my comments again and you’ll see a different message in them. Please?

      And then I’m trying to avoid not going for a tirade about the surprisingly high level corruption in Finland and how that’s fed by us being so proud of not having almost any corruption at all…

      I mean when you make claims like this of course you’re going to get pushback.

        Yup. And it’s interesting how different this pushback is in Finland when compared to other countries where I’ve complained about corruption!
