- On defining [What is work?
- As a matter of social convention, most people donāt have a sense of style.
- So Iāll define it and pass it on.
- The style of the companyās business is becoming more common.
- What is this ālack of senseā?
- Iād like to verbalize it in more detail.
- Work of poor taste
- Claim to have made positive progress by doing something that seems to have zero value.
- This ignores absolute quantities, the idea that if itās not zero, itās good.
- Short-term perspective, values of others
- Does not scale.
- Work with good taste
- If you do this now, at this time, you can expect big changes in the future.
- An engine of exponential growth is being built.
- That change matches individual values.
- I get angry when Iām about to be consumed as a resource for bad taste work.
- I donāt mind at all being involved in work that has good taste.
- Iād rather be actively involved and put my resources out there.
- From the point of view of someone without sense discernment, itās hard to tell the difference.
- I donāt feel like I have to assume the existence of absolute sense in this one.
- Mr. P thinks A is a good job and B is a barren task.
- Mr. Q thinks that A and B are equal jobs.
- When Mr. Q tries to involve Mr. P in B, Mr. P doesnāt like it.
- From the fact that Mr. P was happy to do A, Mr. Q thought he would be happy to do B as well.
- Well, but if Mr. P distinguishes what Mr. Q does not distinguish, then there is a ādifference that Mr. P feels and Mr. Q does not feelā.
- I donāt think itās strange to call this ability to sense ādifferenceā a āsense.ā
- summary
- In this case, āwork senseā means āthe ability to infer the value that a job will produce over the long term.ā
