I hate the art of throwing away time.
- It’s hard to mention because I feel sorry for the people who did it if I mention specifics.
- But if I search for something now, years after I saw it, and I don’t get any hits, I guess I can assume that it’s already been buried by Test of Time.
- You know, the “I drew 10,000 circles with a red pen” kind of thing.
- [Few people do it because it’s irrational.
- The variety of ways to dump time makes it easy to find “something that no one has done yet.”
- novelty (patentability) Communities that place a high value on “what no one has done yet”.
- People who have gone crazy with the looming deadline pressure because they can’t come up with new ideas.
- Young people’s valuable time is consumed by [simple labor
- I feel like it’s socially harmful.
relevance - Misconception of time as a free resource
