But this leads to stasis if you are given unlimited time and money. That is, if you did have your ideal constraints, would anything ever be produced? I read so

I read some short story (that I wish I remembered the title of) when I was a kid about the idea that achieving immortality on earth had caused people to stop producing anything useful in their quest for perfection.
- calinet6 14y agoI'm going to copy verbatim a comment I posted elsewhere in this thread. Apologies... I don't understand where people are getting the idea that we are to ignore balance, constraints, and reality in deciding how to complete a project. Absolutely not the case. We're talking about quality specifically, and why someone might choose to pay attention to finer details versus ignoring them. Your reasons for ignoring details might be perfectly valid and entirely appropriate. The project may not call for artistry and mastery. All very good points for a different discussion. Don't think for a moment that those who believe high quality is an important factor are implying that it is absolutely necessary. That is simply a false dilemma.
