A wiser course to unhappiness. I volunteer to give up some rationality to gain some happiness. If I can get less procrastination in the deal as well, then that would be great.

Remember that you're trading a fixed amount of happiness here for some sort of return (which might be less than the happiness than you sacrifice).

What sort of happiness trades are you willing to make at that price? Intelligence that measures as a 15 IQ point boost? 5 million dollars? Everything's got a price. At some point, sacrificing those things IS worth the return.

I was thinking the other way around, actually.
