This is terrible advice. Risk-aversion is life-aversion.
A better formulation would be "maximize your expected value from experiences"
- mym1990 4y agoThere was not one mention of the word "risk" in that post. It is terrible advice to maintain your body and mind? What? This advice is given as 30-40% of the western world approaches obesity, and more than that will experience some form of cancer, Alzheimers, diabetes, or heart disease in their life. I would almost counter and say that maximizing your ev from experiences just seems like a terrible way to micromanage your life. How do you put ev on mountain biking for a few hours, or having a movie night with a loved one? Are you going to sit down with a spreadsheet and figure it out...or are you maybe just going to go out and do the thing and enjoy it?
