Cool! Thanks for letting me know
Lucky you!
Went with my wife for our third wedding anniversary to the Maldives. The memories we made then remain etched in my mind

How do they account for the irrationality of the human mind, then?
For example, I might choose high time preference n splurge on a more expensive gift card with my free sats. whereas check out the price a couple of times before I commit to buying a gift card with the sats I earn through blood sweat n tears haha
I’m not sure if these are considered popular sayings but I picked them up here:
-
low time preference
-
YMMV (your mileage may vary)
-
V4V (value for value)
-
NgU (Number go up)
Fun exercise!

I love how concise, yet comprehensive your answer is 👍. Much food for thought.

Another example would be sats earned through referrals vs sats grinded through V4V. Free sats just hits differently.
Why don’t some economists make this distinction, though? Because rationally speaking, we should just examine the features n attributes of the good itself?
Great questions.
While I don’t have any book recommendations, I think one’s default towards high time-preference things becomes pronounced when he becomes a parent. Suddenly, time is a more valuable currency than money. My wife and I invested in some time-saving technologies, such as a dishwasher. We discarded a perfectly functioning washing machine to buy a washing machine-cum-dryer.
N no matter how expensive plane tickets get, we select the option that is the most time-efficient n energy-saving
I have always written as a means of recording down experiences and feelings. If it weren’t for Stacker News, it would have been Facebook haha. There was a period of time in which Facebook had its Notes feature - you betcha I utilised it often then.
I think the benefit of writing really comes a few years down the road. Facebook Memories surfaces my writings every year, so it’s a great way to take a trip down memory lane. Sometimes I have forgotten the things that I wrote about, so I’m always grateful for having the discipline to pen down my memories in the first place. Haha.
Does writing in English bring out a different side of you from writing in Spanish?
I think an ~earth bot would be nice. My cultural versatility has improved by leaps n bounds since I joined here. I never ceased to be amazed at the variety of nationalities represented here on SN
