I’m increasingly of the mind that human beings typically just •hate• tradeoffs. I don’t just mean they hate making decisions involving tradeoffs. I mean they hate admitting to themselves that tradeoffs •exist•.

They want there to be a right answer, instead of a fuzzy, uncertain, unsatisfying best guess.

People organize whole political philosophies and worldviews around this need, and will harm themselves and others to hold on to that sense of there being a “right answer.”
