how do you know its not worth the effort if you've never had it?
- throwawaysleep 4y agoI suppose I do not, in the same way that I do not know whether learning the Ukulele will change my life. But that is not strong motivation to do either.

- manquer 4y agoNot OP or in same situation. Your line of questioning is not useful and is perhaps okay to use on 5year old child to eat broccoli. I can use same argument you make for drugs or mass murders or anything else . the rational way to evaluate an activity is the perceived value , effort needed and our desire to do it. There could be informed discussion on why the perceived value is so low or natural desire is not strong, but arguing try it once is not helpful.
- thfuran 4y ago>but arguing try it once is not helpful Why not? If you want to get a better idea of how much you'd value an experience, doing it seems like a pretty good idea, and this certainly falls more towards the eating broccoli end of the spectrum of moral reprehensibility and likelihood of ruining your life than taking up recreational murder or heroin.
