The Value of “Postponement” in Bus Lines - The Delusions of Strangers

from Blind spot card with no picture yet option value

There is value in being able to choose. For example, there is a bet that has a 1/3 chance of being +1 and a 2/3 chance of being -1. This bet by itself has a negative expected value, so it is better not to do it. However, if you “do it twice and you can choose whichever you like,” you should do it because there is a 5/9 chance of +1 and a 4/9 chance of -1. This is the value of being able to choose.

Summary of notes

. This explains the “option value”, which is the value of the choice itself. For example, if there is a bet that has a 1/3 chance of being +1 and a 2/3 chance of being -1, you should not do this bet by itself because the expected value is negative. However, if you are allowed to “do it twice and choose whichever you like,” you should do it because there is a 5/9 chance that you will get +1 and a 4/9 chance that you will get -1. This is the value of being able to choose.

Relation to Fragment

. The fragment “Movement increases the range of observation” is related to the note. While the note explains the value of having options, this fragment explains the importance of expanding the range of observation in order to increase options. In other words, the relevance is that increasing the range of observation increases the number of options, which in turn increases the option value.

deep thinking

The value gained by having more options, or option value, can be further increased by expanding the range of observation. However, in order to expand the range of observation, it is necessary to change one’s own behavior and thinking. Therefore, from the perspective of self-growth and self-development, it is important to broaden the scope of observation.
