Inconvenient wisdom gained on Twitter today
Meaning in life is created by unnecessarily detailed preferences and unnecessarily specific ways of caring.
IOW living less conveniently, more energy, than necessary.
Living tastefully = cargo cult version of this.

Life is not a satisficing problem. This may be the fatal flaw in economic theorizing. Markets can only deliver satisficing conveniences. Inconvenience is priceless.
The underspecified life is not worth living. Overspecification is the spice of life.

I get to spend time writing notes in a paper journal or whatever inconvenience I perceive as beneficial because someone else handles e.g. inconveniences of growing my food

Yeah but they do that by supplying conveniences. Eg you don’t have to make paper too unless you want to.
