The marginal utility of increases in utility prediction seems quite high to me.
Yes, well that’s sort of the point of this site.
So how did everyone else avoid the pathological effect of that taking up more of their thought patterns than ‘actual’ utility? Or maybe they didn’t.
Anyone spending time on here clearly believes that improving their ability to predict things is worthwhile.
Either that or they just think this place is kinda fun. Or both.
It’s not necessarily pathological to devote more resources to investment than consumption for the time being. (LW may not be the best form of investment.)
