A thought:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps life is more interesting and enjoyable when we strive towards infinite gains, in a slow and steady manner.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

For example when it comes to powerlifting, I love the idea that as long as I keep eating, training, and giving it all of my courage, my “one rep max” will continue to grow indefinitely; infinite gains, although slow and steady. For example, striving to increase my one rep max by 5 pounds every week, or every other week (forever).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Infinite money?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It ain’t about how much money you got; I think it’s more enjoyable to think about your money always growing. Better to grow your money infinitely higher, slowly and steady, instead of earning tons of money in few chunks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Better to get lots of steady serotonin daily (or weekly), instead of in infrequent (but huge) chunks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For example, I know I will live a long time, and I also desire to live a long time. If this is the case, then I want to feel maximally empowered as much as possible. And it seems to get infrequent but massive gains is frustrating. Better steady, consistent slowly, and infinitely more than inconsistent gains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should we work with human bias, or try to override it? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It seems philosophers and psychologists say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Humans are dumb and defective because we get suckered by our “bad” or “irrational” human biases. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

But what if there is insane amounts of wisdom in our folly and “irrationality”?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thought:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should we give more respect and credence to “irrationality”? <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
