YES, BUT WITHIN A VIRTUE FRAMEWORK!
The sad truth is that it is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong."

YES, BUT WITHIN A VIRTUE FRAMEWORK!
The sad truth is that it is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong."

The titled responsion is an ontology of sorts.
Jeremy Bentham
Easily refuted, Utilitarian ethics are based on happiness but this would be missing the point and the value of this Bentham/Mill framework. The other pillar of ethics is coupled with virtue ethics and brought together by a metaphorical keystone of Big Data. At least that's the hypothesis. Virtues are the minimum and the Greeks set the bar. The greatest number versus greatest happiness is a measure of the State. Individuals are more complicated; the cascading impulses predict behavior despite the "greater outcome".
AND MORALITY IS THE BASIS OF (SOCIAL) CONSCIOUSNESS
Compassion is the basis of morality.”
— Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860)

The question is whether or not we require a religious ethic to orient the flock? Some say yes, I say, it depends on where we are at in history. Faced with great uncertainty, our propensity to abstract and create is cultural in nature. These accelerated forces of evolution are an epiphenomenal manifestation, embodied through the metaphors and enacted through our rituals of behaviour. Mixing autonomy with the habitual is foundational to a virtue-based culture where consensus is unanimous, o sepi to poli.
LIFE A LONG LIFE!
That which does not kill us makes us stronger."

Jeremy Bentham
