Hilltop Research: the Mega Mansion

One night, I spotted a particularly bright hilltop near the Getty. It's was the Wilshire Associates Christmas party, hosted at the home where they filmed "Wag the Dog (1997)".

A possible research question: do owners of such mansions enjoy significantly happier lives? Measures could include average: daily dopamine concentrations, stress levels, life expectancy, divorce rate, etc. It would be interesting to see the pursuit of happiness diverge from the pursuit of wealth. Pleasure is the ultimate currency.

Series Description: A fancy art museum near Santa Monica -- 1200 Getty Center Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90049. For more than a year, I maintained a steadfast regimen, going every Thursday evening. Regularly viewing the works of old masters proved educational... almost like an art school.
