Because of the idea of ultimate goals vs. proximate goals. Greedy algorithms are poor ways of finding happiness.
I know that I find work fulfilling. However, I don't like starting work. If I took your advice, my life would be far less pleasant (and not only materially).
- bnegreve 13y agoThat's how it should be, but I suspect that in most cases, people work simply because they are supposed to. E.g. (quoting the article) > If it is 2pm, then I will stop what I’m doing and start work on the report Bob asked for. What's the long term goal here? Being in good terms with Bob? Keeping your job? Are those the goals that you should care about?
- marcosdumay 13y ago> Are those the goals that you should care about? Yep. At the very least, you want to abandon your current job on your own terms, not by being fired. But keep in mind that even great jobs (including owning your business here) have boring tasks that must be fulfilled.
