I didn’t say that. Idk what comment you read that said that, but it wasn’t mine.

Even if there was a cost to the productivity of the present - a better present isn’t one where we’re the most “productive” or efficient - it’s one where the most people are able to grasp a good and fair life.

> The dots on the screen form a picture.

The point is that each hire is an individual decision.

If I were painting a picture I might use a lot of different colors but if you ask me to pick my favorite color 5000 times, I'll say the same color 5000 times.

exactly - if you loose sight of the big picture and only see the individual events, it’s easy to turn a personal bias into a systemic bias. The screen is a wash of blue, and the image is lost.
