[LINK] Wondermark comic talks about “carpe diem” vs. “think more”
Comic here.
I feel like I’m likely to hear that it’s a false dichotomy, but if so I haven’t successfully dissolved it. (I’m not sure I actually had a concise name for it before; now that I do I should start saving comments about it.)
Edit: Ability to react may be related, possibly applying on shorter timescales.
WARNING! The punchline depends on having read the previous comic first!
I found this out the hard way.
I think I thought this was better when it was utterly inexplicable, actually.
I had read the previous comic yesterday, just ’cuz I follow the comic, which indeed makes it much more funny.
I am reminded of this excellent LW post from 2009: Head-land versus Real-land.
