Some things are necessary and we want them. Other things are not necessary and we don’t want them. I’ve had the option to buy a lot of stuff over the years and there has been an inevitable tradeoff. I still don’t have everything I want, but I have enough that I can enjoy it for the most part.
On my way up the food chain, I have to trade my stuff for something else. I could have spent the money and bought the things I dont want. Now I have to trade my stuff for something else.
There is no such thing as a necessity, and just because something is “good” doesn’t mean you need to trade it off for something else. This is a fact that has gotten lost in the world of economics lately, but is actually very simple to understand. A lack of a necessity does not cause a tradeoff. Conversely, a tradeoff can cause a lack of necessity, but again, the existence of such a tradeoff doesn’t mean the other alternative has to be avoided.
This is a fact that has gotten lost in the world of economics lately, because it’s not just a matter of a lack of a necessity causing a tradeoff. It is also a fact that many people (including myself) actually are trade-off-avoiders. We have to trade things off to survive, and these tradeoffs are not always in our best interest.
I mean, sure there are plenty of people who have a need to have the latest and most awesome piece of technology, a piece of art, or a new toy, but a lot of people want to be more creative or have a better idea for how to do something. So many of us trade off our creativity, ingenuity, and inventiveness.
You know what I’m talking about when I say these trade-offs are often in the worst of our own best interests. There is no doubt that the more we trade off our creativity and ingenuity the worse we feel, and that even the most creative and ingenious people in the world feel this way.
That’s an interesting observation about creativity and innovation, because it suggests that our most creative and innovative people are often the least creative and innovative. You know, the guys who make the great products and ideas in Hollywood or Silicon Valley or some other creative environment. So, if you don’t feel like your ideas are good enough for Hollywood or Silicon Valley you can always trade it off. In this case, though, you might want to put some thought into the trade-offs you’re making as well.
Imagine the following scenario. You have a great idea for a technology that may be useful and fun but is currently too limited in terms of supply. You’ve already invested in the idea and everything is great. The next time you have an idea or two for a related product, you might want to put your money into buying some more of your original idea or ideas. If your new idea has better potential, you will also be able to get rid of your original idea.
The problem with this is that if your new idea is superior to the original, you can’t trade it for a better one. The only way you can get rid of your original idea is if you’re not using it anymore or if you decide that the price of your original idea is too high.
When it comes to trading ideas, I think the biggest problem is a lack of transparency. If you want to trade your idea for a better idea, you have to publicly reveal it. In the case of a new idea, the creator has to either reveal that they have the new idea, or else they must explain what was said about the original idea. As a result, people will only think they have the new idea, and they will be surprised when the creator does reveal the original idea.
