Public Fun - "The More the Merrier" principle

There's a flavor of fun that we get when we're not the only one having it. You can call it "social fun" or "shared fun" or even "loving fun." It's a kind of fun that often leads to public fun.

According to the Oaqui, that kind of fun, public fun, when applied to human affairs in general, can prove a most reliable socio-political guide to human ethics. The Oaqui explicate/s:

"The More Merrier Multiplier, in a mathematically articulate manner, expresses the true relationship between the Merrier and the More. If no one else is in this meeting is making merry, OR if you find yourself clearly lacking in measurable merriment, OR if nobody else will be the merrier because we are having the meeting, the whole thing is pretty much worthless. Or, saying the same thing in just about the same way: If you're having fun, and if everyone else is having fun, and if just about the entire world will have more fun as the result of what you're having fun doing, you can be pretty sure that what you're doing is, in fact, a very right thing."

And if there's such a thing as public fun, there's definitely equally such a thing as private fun. The fun we have all by ourselves with ourselves often within ourselves. Fun that we share with ourselves only. And of course there's semi-private fun, like the fun we have with kids and pets and ocean waves and sand and water....
