What Naval Ravikant actually said

  1. Naval Ravikant Co-founder of AngelList
    If obtaining things made us permanently happy, then the cavemen would have been miserable, and we would all be deliriously happy. Yet, net happiness per person is not going up and might even be going down. Modernity probably brings more unhappiness than the past.
