What's the name for the type of philosophical system that does NOT posit human happiness as the ultimate good/goal? Something like the opposite of "eudaimonistic". I think for example Platonist philosophy is not too far off this since it posits an Idea of the Good.

Deontological since it focuses on doing one's duty toward moral good, not maximizing happiness?

601. Why do declining individuals view problem-solving as a mechanism for happiness increase, instead of the happiness mechanism as a means for increased problem-solving? Precisely because they are declining, and therefore view everything assbackwards and upside-down. Remember: either you are expanding, or contracting. In the first case, your entire psychology will be geared towards shaping your environment, hence you will see the problems as the end, and your psychological state as the means; while in the second case it will be your environment that will be shaping you, thus making you view the problems as the means and your psychological state ("happiness") as the end. This entire process is so unambiguous and so blatantly transparent that medical professionals should no longer hesitate to diagnose whoever claims to strive for "happiness" as "sick".
