Upvoted but disagreed. It isn’t my model of what putting out fires feels like most of the time but I’m not sure, it’s plausible, and if it’s true it’s important.
It also makes me think that maybe it’s super, critically important to have social norms that make wearing a clown suit not so bad. There are downsides to this of course but if the importance of wearing a clown suit is that high it probably outweighs the downsides enough such that the optimal point on the spectrum is pretty close to “not too uncomfortable wearing the suit”.
