Ep. 02: How much of our life should we measure?

 
What is measured, is managed. But if everything is managed, do we lose the point of measuring?

What is measured, is managed. But if everything is managed, do we lose the point of measuring?

In this popular episode, Abel and Aaron discuss how they’ve approached optimizing different areas of their life. They look at the value (and demise) of having a systematic approach to multiple different areas of life and analyze different views on this commonly criticized approach to living. They look at how they go about figuring out which areas of their life should be maximizing factors, and which should be satisficing factors.

They also chat on whether or not they would consume an “immortality” pill.
