Here be a more or less recent paper about measuring happiness, from the
famous Sabine Hossenfelder. Bears on the philosopher of science
conversation too.

one....)
Found at my favorite physics blog: http://www.backreaction.com, which I
don't always agree with, anyhow this is interesting.

Doug, Steve,
I am a little confused about which of you is beering with Epstein,
but whichever one of you it is, please take along a copy of
http://jasss.soc.surrey.ac.uk/12/1/9.html and ask him what the
hell he was drinking when he wrote, "Explanation ...does not imply
prediction." If you do download the article, please disregard the
abstract which is missing a key word in its last line.

I'll be eating ribs with Josh next month in Austin, I'll try to
remember to ask him his opinion on this.
Upon consideration: no I won't. We'll be eating ribs and drinking
beer and having fun. Scientific philosophical discussion will not
even emerge.
Get it? Emerge.
In my experience philosophical discussions "erupt" rather than
emerge... drinking beer, eating ribs, having fun, waxing
philosophical all tend to follow a pattern of punctuated
equilibrium...
