Thinking aloud

We can show formally that Schadenfreude is Pareto inefficient. Basically, we can hypothesize that the entire field of behavioral economics is a bunch of "subjective" endofunctors in the codomain of outcomes. Or we can think about it as the discovery of a new codomain and its mappings to traditional codomain of economic outcomes.

upd: prevalence of shandenfreude in a society can be interpreted as a situation where the society hit a Pareto improvement wall.

upd: is the Pareto wall inherent to aging societies. can we see whether/why/how it holds for e.g. Japan? is family structure relevant here?
