What do you mean by that?
- J_cst 7y agoI think he's referring to the situation where too many choices make it difficult to choose as if there was no choice. Or something along those lines.
- haser_au 7y agoAn overwhelming number of options or choices can actually be a source of anxiety, rather than giving you freedom to choose. Imagine walking into a foreign supermarket, and having 100 different brands of peanut butter, none of which you recognise. If you have a lot of money, all options are available. If money is a factor, your choices are limited and making the choice is actually easier. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Paradox_of_Choice https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Paradox_of_Choice
