Why do we want to have the “best”? My theory:

We desire to have the best things in order to not think about it anymore, the zen of not having to explore any further options (no longer needing to “optimize” or “betterfy” your tools), and to focus on what’s truly important to you — adventure, exploration, thinking and artistic creation!
