>I don't actually want to look cool
Why? What possible utility could you be gaining by looking worse? Perverse pride sounds more like a ex post rationalization than a real reason.
- rbarooah 16y agoSaved time, energy and money by not worrying about it?
- JoeAltmaier 16y agoYou got it wrong; I don't spend time on it, so there's no utility calculation at all. Its a null set. Pride is also free. I spend my time supporting a youth group; mentoring a high school game design club; gardening. What possible utility do you gain by ignoring these things?
- endtime 16y agoSo what you really mean is that looking good isn't worth the perceived cost to you. Your first comment gave me the impression that you prefer not to look cool, other things being equal, which was the source of my confusion.
- JoeAltmaier 16y agoWell, I do prefer not to look cool, especially since its free.
