There’s a better way to make decisions. To understand it, you should know about Herbert Simon, a pioneer of artificial intelligence and cognitive psychology, as well as a Nobel laureate in economics.
His whole thing boils down to this part:
His eldest daughter, Katherine, recalled that he wore one brand of socks to avoid selecting color or style each morning, and owned exactly one black beret at a time, made at a particular haberdashery in Europe.
He was a rich jackass who could afford to not worry about shit.
Having that level of wealth is the "secret" to happiness for the vast amount of people
as well as a Nobel laureate in economics
So a fake Nobel, then.
“Have Money”
Is the secret to happiness dead white conservatives?
