I have a couple more thoughts to release into the abyss.
The following question does not require you to answer and the material following the question is not an attempt to debate. I merely present this for all reader’s consumption: Would you say that animals aside from human beings experience happiness? I would say not all animals experience happiness - from a neurological standpoint with regard to hunger being satisfied, it would seem that hunger is a condition that is present prior to satisfaction becoming the new condition of hunger being satisfied - from this you can see that consciousness is not needed to achieve satisfaction. But I think that happiness originates somewhere between a neurological condition and a full-blown consciousness that can comprehend happiness - essentially turning satisfaction into happiness.
Regarding “A wholesome being won’t go out of his way to prescribe how life should be for others.”…this is not always true as there are people out there who actually want to be told what to do. Therefore in an arbitrarily ideal world what you are saying, fits. I do however like the general concept of: “It can only assist others by, for example, creating tools and medicines.”, however in my ideal world I would say “It should only offer assistance to others by, for example, creating tools and medicines.”
A sound world, I believe is easier to achieve than what most people think.
Then it also depends on what 18th-century social contracts depended upon. Man did not evolve man by any means. Mankind just reached the stage where they are able to write about their observations. It could be said that discoveries are merely stumbled upon observations that someone happened to stumble across first and therefore receive credit for a “discovery”. Ideas like the “Social Contract”’ evolve from what came before and are essentially discovered or “invented” at some point thereafter. I am not saying that social-contract theorists undertook/undertake useless endeavors just as I am not saying that Darwin’s Theory of Evolution or treating the brain as perfectly synonymous with the modern-day concept of a computer is pointless. We are all attempting to make points in our writings or speech by using imperfect language. I mean if you look hard enough some conspiracies appear to hold some truth.
…we attempt to interpret what authors of the past have written and hence a reason for debate arises…
“that sees it and interprets in a sort of primitive early imposition of early dialectical relationship”
Unless one is very familiar with the said social contracts as a good portion of people are with a more general concept of humanity then the jump to make the connection can be difficult and therefore it is important to establish first what level or portions of philosophical knowledge the OP is familiar with. This is not to say that there can not be some sidetalk happening in the meantime.
