I don't give a fuck about GDP. We should be guided by quality of life.

Whatever that actually means. Your definition of quality of life is very likely not mine and conversely.

I'd be very afraid to have a statistics office define what "quality of life" means. It reeks of centralized planning.

I mean, in nearly every country, there’s de facto already one that defines quality of life as being equivalent to engagement in any activity which increases the GDP of the country.
