My mileage varies. I have a bias for the 5th level, and if I’m currently deeply immersed in a rabbit hole that I reflectively think is usefwl, then going up the ladder again risks reminding me how distal the rabbit hole objectives are. I remind myself just how much I care about saving the world, but the caring mostly leaks out when trying to reach more distal instrumental objectives.
