For example, if someone believed that they were unhappy because they are unattractive, poof, the wand makes them beautiful. If someone believed they were unhappy because the world is filled with sinners, poof, we all become saints. Do you think people would be grateful or angry?
I see two problems: First, it would be an extreme challenge to define what happiness is for everyone. Second, even if you could come up with a universal definition for bliss there would still be some people who couldn’t accept it. Some people are only happy when they are miserable or making others miserable. Collective reality exists at the expense of an unsustainable moral cost structure and that is why it will eventually collapse. In the words of the immortal Captain James T. Kirk, “I need my pain.”
So, is it possible to make everyone happy without breaking up our collective reality?
Put on your amour, mount your steed, and let the intellectual jousting begin!
