    By evaluating individual stats, not entire societies

    That’s an oxymoron, societies are collectives of individuals. If you can evaluate4 on an individual, you can collect it to evaluate a society.
    You are talking like culture is some sort of religion, where it’s all made up, and completely disconnected from evidence and reason.

    So you maintain that good health and long life are just a subjective values?
