It's great to make conscious choices of what you want from your life, and accounting for the trade-offs. But these choices are likely different for everybody.

This post makes the fundamental mistake of assuming that "different" is automatically "better". Some people might enjoy shows over books because e.g. they lack mental imagery and enjoy visualizations. Some people might enjoy wine because it works for their palate. Yes, it has a health impact, but guess what, so has long distance running.

Choose the path that works for you, and enjoy it. But if we all could stop telling each other that somehow, we personally lucked onto finding the perfect path, that'd be helpful. It'd be different from the normal case on the Internet, too.
