Judgement of what is wrong or right is a human quality dependent on the individual and time. Why limit oneself to believing that what is wrong or right now will be so later. So to answer your question, whoever (plural) has the power to do so at the time of decision. The constraint in the idea is that it is independent of religious belief.

The belief in an afterlife is due to the people's love of procrastination. If people did things now instead of leaving them to do later, they wouldn't need a 'later' in which to do them. If people really want an afterlife, then they can have kids to pass on their physical code, or they can write books, songs etc to pass on their ideas. Some people don't have the opportunities of others but that in itself does not prove there is an afterlife.

Clearly, a happy pill would lead to making the times when not on the pill more unhappy. As a pill is an individual device, it would therefore make the community a less happy place. The only net difference would be in the profits of the company making the pill, however, this would not necessarily make the company bosses happy either, as there is a negative correlation between money and happiness.
I am relatively friendly.

If you define 'opposite' as 'not' then what you say is a tautology. However this is false. For example of directions, 'left' is not 'up' however 'left' is not the opposite of 'up', 'left' is the opposite of 'right'.According to your initial statements, the opposite of everything is contained within the same boundaries and the infinity that remains outside just contains those things which are undefineable.
