I may have been misleading, but my point is not about tradeoffs, but about not pursuing things that you don’t actually care about upon reflection.
Thanks for bringing this up. I believe explicitly stating tradeoffs is important because you may then realize that you actually don’t care about them. For example, I don’t actually care about being “enlightened” or reaching stage 10 in TMI (though I thought I did). I would have come to a better conclusion and had better meditation sessions earlier if I made the metrics I care about explicit.
[Though, this isn’t true for looking cool dancing or eating new foods because I don’t know if I like them until it happens]
