I watched an awesome movie, and now I’m coasting in far mode. I really like being in far mode, but is this useful? What if I don’t want to lose my awesome-movie high?
Are there some things that far mode is especially good for? Should I be managing finances in this state? Reading a textbook? Is far mode instrumentally valuable in any way? Or should I make the unfortunate transition back to near mode?
Based on the description at the LW wiki, it sounds like far mode is a good time to evaluate how risk-averse you’ve been and whether there are risky opportunities you should be taking that you previously weren’t taking because of risk-aversion.
