Suppose we say that the top of the ladder represents the best possible life for you and the bottom of the ladder represents the worst possible life for you. If the top step is 10 and the bottom step is 0, on which step of the ladder do you feel you personally stand at the present time?” The obvious problem with this question, commonly known as the Cantril Ladder, is that it doesn’t really ask about happiness at all. We know from many surveys that people tend to give very different answers to questions about what makes them satisfied with their life and to questions about whether they are feeling good in the moment. Having children, for example, tends to raise parents’ assessment of how meaningful their life is; but notably it does not make them report higher levels of happiness at any particular moment, including when they are spending time with their kids. At most, a ranking based purely on the Cantril Ladder could therefore give us something called a World Self-Reported Life Satisfaction Report—and it’s easy to see why such an honest title wouldn’t entice many journalists to write about it. The less obvious problem with the Cantril Ladder is that it does not even do a good job of measuring respondents’ satisfaction with their own lives. When one set of researchers asked over a thousand survey respondents in the United Kingdom what they took the question to be getting at, the most commonly mentioned responses included “wealth,” “rich” and “successful.” As August Nilsson and his colleagues painstakingly demonstrate, some of the specific language in the question—such as the metaphor of the ladder and its emphasis on the “top” as well as the “bottom step”—primes respondents to think about social hierarchies. Their conclusion is sobering: “The Cantril Ladder is arguably the most prominent measure of well-being, but the results suggest caution in its interpretation—the Cantril Ladder’s structure appears to influence participants to attend to a more power- and wealth-oriented view of well-being.” But perhaps the biggest problem with the World Happiness Report is that metrics of self-reported life satisfaction don’t seem to correlate particularly well with other kinds of things we clearly care about when we talk about happiness. At a minimum, you would expect the happiest countries in the world to have some of the lowest incidences of adverse mental health outcomes. But it turns out that the residents of the same Scandinavian countries that the press dutifully celebrates for their supposed happiness are especially likely to take antidepressants or even to commit suicide. While Finland and Sweden consistently rank at the top of the happiness league table, for example, both countries have also persistently experienced some of the highest suicide rates in the European Union, ranking in the top five EU countries according to one recent statistic. It turns out that my hunch is born out by the data. Scandinavia doesn’t just seem a lot less happy than headlines suggest each year; if you look at a variety of metrics that have at least as much connection to a layperson’s understanding of happiness as the single metric used by the World Happiness Report, countries like Finland don’t do especially well. *** Two distinguished economists, Danny Blanchflower and Alex Bryson, set out in a recent paper to discover what would happen to the world happiness rankings if they looked at a broader range of indicators—and what they found is a totally different picture. Instead of relying on a single metric of life satisfaction, Blanchflower and Bryson consider eight survey questions which have widely been asked in different countries around the world. The first four of these questions measure different dimensions of positive affect. They are based on asking whether respondents experienced enjoyment yesterday; whether they smiled or laughed a lot; and whether they felt well-rested. (Their measure of positive affect also incorporates answers to the Cantril Ladder.) The next four questions used by Blanchflower and Bryson measure different dimensions of negative affect. They ask respondents such questions as whether or not they experienced sadness yesterday; whether they worried during a lot of the day; whether they experienced anger; and whether they were in physical pain. What Blanchflower and Bryson found is striking. Responses to the Cantril Ladder barely seem to correlate with expressions of either positive or negative affect. Denmark, for example, came top of their ranking on the Cantril Ladder. But, like most other Scandinavian countries, Denmark did much worse on both metrics of positive affect such as how likely respondents had been to smile or laugh a lot the previous day (111th out of 164 countries) and on metrics of negative affect such as whether they had worried a lot (93rd out of 164.)1 As a result, the overall ranking constructed by Blanchflower and Bryson looks totally different to the more famous version published by the UN. Finland, for example, falls to 51st place.2 Conversely, countries like Japan, Panama and Thailand, none of which do especially well on the official ranking by the UN, suddenly appear a lot happier; all of them are ranked above Finland and other supposed top performers. Another surprise suggests that the story about happiness in the United States is not nearly as bleak as is usually suggested. For it turns out that happiness varies widely across America—and some parts of the country are seemingly the happiest in the world. Once you break the United States into its component states, it becomes clear that parts of the country really are doing quite badly. Residents of West Virginia, for example, ranked 101st out of 215 countries and states, making them about as happy as those in much poorer places like Sri Lanka and Mauritania. But residents of other U.S. states are, according to the ranking constructed by Blanchflower and Bryson, among the happiest in the world. Seven of them—Hawaii, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas—are at the very top of the list, meaning that their residents are happier than those of the happiest country in the world (which turns out to be Taiwan, located in East Asia rather than Northern Europe). All in all, the residents of 34 U.S. states, plus those of the District of Columbia, have higher average levels of happiness than do the Fins. *** In a culture obsessed with happiness and wellness, there will always be huge demand for content that sells readers on the one great hack for how to improve their lives. Want to live to a ripe old age? Eat like the residents of “blue zones” such as Sardinia or Okinawa. Want to be happy even though you’re not rich? Move to Bhutan, a country often portrayed as having figured out the key to happiness because the government announced in 2008 that it would henceforth be focusing on growing its “Gross Happiness Index.” But that one great hack for how to improve your life nearly always turns out to be a sham. The residents of blue zones aren’t especially likely to live long because of their unique diets; more likely, blue zones are distinguished by poor record-keeping, leading to an abnormally high number of people defrauding the government by overstating their own age or continuing to collect pension checks for deceased relatives. Similarly, the government of Bhutan may talk a big game about prioritizing happiness over economic growth; but in reality, it doesn’t do particularly well in either the World Happiness Report or on Blanchflower and Bryson’s alternative metric—and the steady flow of people leaving Bhutan appear to believe that they could lead much happier lives elsewhere. This suggests that, for all of the evident shortcomings of a purely economistic mindset, attempts to abandon tried-and-tested metrics like GDP for new-fangled indicators like happiness rankings may do more harm than good. After all, it remains extremely hard to measure happiness—and even if we could somehow come up with a reliable metric, we’d have precious little idea about what government policies could actually boost this outcome. More broadly, supposedly serious news outlets still have a long way to go in subjecting publicity exercises like the World Happiness Report to appropriate journalistic scrutiny. It is easy to see why editors are tempted to assign some beat reporter without expertise in the social sciences to write up a fun little story about how much happier those enlightened Scandinavians are compared to benighted Americans. But if the media wants to live up to its self-appointed role as a gatekeeper of reliable information, it can’t continue to be complicit in the spread of such shoddy clickbait. Over the last years, media outlets like the New York Times, universities like Oxford, and international institutions like the UN have devoted themselves to the fight against so-called “misinformation.” It is certainly true that our political discourse is awash with dangerous distortions and outright lies. But any institution which wishes to address that problem must start by looking into the mirror—and cease spreading “elite misinformation” like the World Happiness Report."]]> yaschamounk 2025 happiness well-being wellbeing scandinavia denmark finland nordiccountries sweden iceland us costarica lithuania worldhappinessreport surveys skepticism wealth mentalhealth society community cantrilladder assessment power dannyblanchflower alexbryson japan panamá thailand un hawaii minnesota northdakota southdakota iowa nebraska kansas dc washingtondc taiwan asia europe srilanka mauritania westvirginia culture sardinia okinawa gdp misinformation fraud https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:f1c8c5ea80fb/ More Workslop for Mother 2025-09-26T16:07:59+00:00 https://2ndbreakfast.audreywatters.com/more-workslop-for-mother/ robertogreco audreywatters 2025 edtech technology microschools schools schooling ai artificialintelligence policy publicschools testing assessment standardizedtesting individualism individualization personanlization mackenzieprice ezrawallach alphaschool alpha chatbots tressiemcmillancottom labor work workers slop aislop adamraine chatgpt openai siliconvalley bigtech marcandreessen thomaspynchon luddism neoluddism luddites neoluddites grading curriculum howweteach brianmerchant pedagogy teaching aibubble llms lms aigoldrush techbubbles hype https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:648f22c41eae/ Yutori education -

Is it really a place for learning, or a place for fear and competition? Institutions of supposed learning have been sites of policing where you have to be “good enough” to not be exiled. This is deeply violent and policing and harmful. Grading is part of this: a tool of policing Learning has been systematically harmed by teaching: a culture of grades and exile as primary forms of punishment. As a teacher I can “feel” the expectations and uncertainties of school culture from my students. Institutions of teaching don’t easily support cultures of learning. This makes me incredibly angry. Every class, it takes a while to get to a place where we can experiment and find things together: the norms of the school is so strong, in all of us. What do we expect, having spent time in schools that hold a carceral mindset? Or an elitist one? There are alternatives: treat classes like reading groups, or a exploratory research group, where you discover things together. There is only an us. Knowledge isn’t transmitted from teacher to student, rather, learning is about playing together, finding more ways to play together Learning isn’t lectures; it’s co-learning / cooperative / collective organizing. So many good thinkers and practioners and writings along this line Montessori, Vygotsky, Illich, Ranciere, La Paperson, Jo Freeman. (Do you know any - esp by bipoc?) Where are the places where learning (not teaching) is really supported and celebrated? Where are the centers of learning that put learning first, that really let us remember what it’s like to discover and explore and be curious, that can actively undo trauma around schools? Imagine teachers without the inner cop, prison. It’s one thing to do it in a classroom, but we NEED to feel this energy across an entire institution, a joyous co-conspiratory energy of researching and finding and sharing with each other. Full of support, care, mutual respect.
so grateful to @jeffreymoro for articulating so clearly the category of educational “cop shit” (“any pedagogical technique or technology that presumes an adversarial relationship between students and teachers”) & the need to get it out of the classroom https://twitter.com/jeffreymoro/status/1228345239984918528

<3 [bell hooks, teaching to transgress] [image with the following quote]
Traditional education deemphasizes the reality that professors are in the classroom to offer something of ourselves to the students. The erasure of the body encourages us to think that we are listening to neutral, objective facts, facts that are not particular to who is sharing the information. We are invited to teach information as though it does not emerge from bodies. Significantly, those of us who a re trying to critique biases in the classroom have been compelled to return to the body to speak about ourselves as subjects in history. We are all subjects in history. We must return ourselves to a state of embodiment in order to deconstruct the way power has been traditionally orchestrated in the classroom , denying subjectivity to some groups and according it to others. By recognizing subjectivity and the limits of identity, we disrupt that objectification that is so necessary in a culture of domination. - bell hooks
Some other actual steps to do: don’t have grades / have pass-fail grades / actively encourage risk-taking (and incorporate in grade metrics, if grades are required) so that students are encouraged to explore new territory and projects that may not work well The teacher can be a facilitator, not a lecturer, and class time should be facilitated like a collective organizing meeting: cooperative, organized around group discussions, readings, projects, sharing. The teacher is like an field trip leader through a landscape of learning A mistake (I’ve made before) is also for the teacher to “do nothing”, let students do “anything”, which is akin to a field trip that goes nowhere. A really good field trip does all the planning and logistics to mobilize planes, trains, so that a group can then explore further Another mistake is to erase the teacher/student distinction altogether, which in my opinion is unethical and confusing because instead it conceals a power relationship that is present, rather than being open about it and altering it to be more about accountability the joyous moments in teaching have been about exploration, opt-in curiosity, moments in the classroom open to the unknown, a shared discussion and rumination about finding and thinking about projects, of sharing resources together, of giving each other feedback Teachers and students are roles upheld by an institution and a power relation. The learner is an identity that can’t be forced upon anyone, only chosen by each person. The best learning contexts are when everyone in the classroom, including the “teacher” is a learner. What would an abolitionist, anti-policing approach to schools? What are the opposite of grades? What would this look like at a level larger than the classroom, but at the scale of the cohort, a community? Schools are not just microcosms of society; they are future societies. They are self-fulfilling prophecies, in that they train us to recreate the societies we experience inside of them. An abolitionist caring society would have caring, supportive, anti-policing schools. classes where you learn how to dance and move your body. classes where you learn how to facilitate a meeting, make working groups. spaces where you realize that nobody is in control / everyone has agency. classes where everyone is oriented in a circle, listening to each other. oriented in the same direction, like a school of fish, trying to find something together. oriented outwards, as if we are exploring a city of thought and agree to meet back in a few hours, with photos and notes of things we’ve discovered. classes where suggestions upon suggestions from everyone builds on each other, hilariously, and together we try something new out and see what happens. classes where rigor is generous, rigor is solid and firm and friendly. classes where nobody knows what will happen at the end!! What did your schools teach you about its societies? about how to live, and what you wanted or didn’t want? About power, and policing, and safety? What was the most safe and exciting learning environment (school or not) you have been part of? (Also! I’ve been collecting a very incomplete set of resources here around pedagogy: https://are.na/dan-taeyoung/active-pedagogy and cooperative practices https://are.na/dan-taeyoung/facilitation-conversation-strategies-not-concepts ) More thoughts:
Gifted programs are so deeply problematic. I wonder if it’s a white supremacy dynamic, the formation of an “elite” / for certain students “gifted” by an extrahuman force (suspiciously like manifest destiny). And more often than not, it harms even the kids who go through it twitter.com/davidhuber_/st
