The More Merrier Multiplier
The Oaqui Guide to Moral Action
Imagine yourself saying something at a meeting, for example, and simultaneously wondering to yourself, "I wonder if I'm doing the right thing, saying this, being here."
If you were Oaqui, you wouldn't have to wonder. Because, knowing that 1) the only thing that really counts is fun, and 2) fun is the one thing in life you can count on being fun when you have it; you would simply do a Fun Count.
Simply:
you'd count how many other people seem to be having fun,
then multiply the sum by how much fun you seem to be having,
and then multiply the product by how many more people will seem to have fun because of the product of the fun you seem to be having.
Then you'd be absolutely sure how right the thing you're doing actually is.
