Negative addition: why less really is more

Adding low value dilutes average value.

If your life is the sum of your experiences…

If the law of averages applies to personal values…

If some choices actions are higher or lower value than others…

If you can’t save time for later…

Then adding a low value activity to your life displaces a potentially higher value activity and is a net negative that creates worse outcomes both for you and everyone and everything else you come in contact with that could have benefitted in some way from you living a higher average value life.

But replacing any activity with a higher value activity?

That changes everything.
