> I think two hours with my loved ones over one hour with my loved ones is a quantifiably superior option.
It's not that simple though. There are so many assumptions in this statement, that aren't easily proven/disproven. Is two hours of kissing your partner really better than a minute of kissing? Are the circumstances also relevant? Maybe two moments aren't even comparable at all?
You seem to have (as so many people do nowadays) the assumption that all of life is completely quantifiable, measurable (as soon as we have the technology). Theory of science shows that this is a belief, which can never be proven or disproven.
Personally, I believe the opposite, that no matter how great our technology gets, there are certain things, that will never be measurable.
So I disagree with your above statement, that one of them is the quantifiably superior option. I think they can't be compared at all.
May we both be happy through our chosen methods.
