God: HEY T-REX DO YOU BELIEVE MONEY MAKES PEOPLE HAPPIER
T-Rex: Let's discuss!
T-Rex: I think it's clear that at some income levels, money DOES buy happiness!
T-Rex: If you can't afford to eat or buy diapers for your child and then you can, that money will make you happy and have obviously bought you happiness!
Dromiceiomimus: On the other hand, some lottery winners are less happy a few years after winning than they were before!
T-Rex: Mo' money CAN, apparently, indeed lead to mo' problems.
T-Rex: So let us say money can buy happiness, assuming it's not received all at once.
Utahraptor: But billionaries aren't uniformly jolly!
T-Rex: That's true. Okay, so clearly there's a function where money buys happiness with less efficiency as happiness increases.
Utahraptor: That implies giving a depressed dude a few bucks will cheer him right up.
T-Rex: Heck, maybe it does! Let's find a depressed dude and find out!
God: T-REX I WAS JUST MAKING CONVERSATION
T-Rex: Oh!
God: THERE'S NO NEED TO DO SCIENCE ON DEPRESSED DUDES
T-Rex: ...Oh.
God: I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO SAY THAT MORE THAN ONCE YOU KNOW
T-Rex: I said "Oh"!!
