Jeez. I still don't know if I'd give up 20 IQ points to be 500% happier, honestly. That's a really helpful edge Maybe 500% happier would make me more productive, but raw productivity isn't enough sometimes - not when there's a world of complexity to find the simple truths within

I think for 500% I'd give up a lot. I've often wanted to be a happier, less complicated person.

I've often made the tradeoff to be less "happy" (short-term) for more ability to effect change. I've found the happiness comes later, with a sense of satisfaction. Would I give up 80% of my happiness for a boost of 20 IQ points? Maybe. Depends on if I'd ever get it back.

Yes, but then is that really a tradeoff? You're giving up temporary happiness for a deeper kind of satisfaction that comes later. Maybe we need different words for those things!

7 years of solitude is a tradeoff I'm willing to bear. 8 may be the tipping point 9 may be too much.

The faith matters much. TBF I wouldn't be in this frame of mind were it not for the pandemic, but we are at war for the future and solitude is the price “I do not think you can name many great inventions that have been made by married men” ― Nikola Teslahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5Watai4qPM&t=2408s …
