2 reasons
I've been very busy lately. I found a place to sort of keep my car for a while and have been chillin' around town for a while. Making money isn't really involved in the scenario, but I am learning some things.
You have to take the things you learn and put a quantity on them. "How damaging was this?" "How much did I benefit from that decision?" At the end of the day do you have more or less than you started out with, that is of prime importance. I think people feel this way. Therefore, a person needs to exact very skeptical scrutiny on their experiences be they exciting or mundane. Life is short, so take a shitload of notes.
Heretofor a calculation begins to develop. Let's see if we can chart it:
Degree of life satisfaction=rate of learning* better decisions
rate of learning=awareness+application of knowledge
better decisions=negative responses/application of knowledge
knowledge=(listening)(watching)(feeling)(analyzing)(dreaming)
so if my quality of life can be enhanced by boosting other factors that relate to happiness, I am inclined to focus my studies to that increase; to do otherwise would be to pursue a philosophy of sadness.

WARNING!
Not all decisions made for good reasons will reuslt in net positive outcomes!!!!!
As Net Degree of Life Satisfaction weighs heavily on the outcome of moral/comfortable behavior not all actions will yield a positive net bonus. This is not something that Reactionists feel very friendly about. Their primary goal is noramlization of belief structures. Unfortunately, they do not have the proper calculations to cull this property of humanity into fashion. Man perpetuates the function of disparate belief patterns under the most rigorous of normalization excersizes.
Rationalists, however, differ in believing that all things will irreversably disintegrate as they had once put themselves together. Therefore, all modern existence is a wash. It is merely an abnormal reaction to a few misled chemicals. True meaning to time, life, and the cosmos are as ridiculous as a wing for a face or plastic for skin. "If you belive life has meaning and you are willing to die for it, what meaning has life?" Making predictions on events that are unlikely is not generally considered "good practice" for an aspiring Rationalist.
My god I'm frunken. O
m not even sure where I am and it's kind of sark do I"m typing by the light of the monitor. I'm stoned as hell and pretty drunl so I"m using this guys typewriter to publish this littel ode to thoughtfulness.
HOOoooo Boy.....
I what I"ve been trying to get at for the past hour is that I try to balance all of my decision making with two factors. If I have two reasons to go and do grocery shopping, then it's worth doing. If I'm not sure what I should do with myasekf on a Saturday night then
I need to balance which options will fullfill the greatest positive reserves in my character. This, of course, is completely objective.
Everything I try to do must be upheld by two positive focused results in order to better my chances on gaining a net positive result from every decision I encounter. Ok, sir stoney will edit this later for a more conscious mind. I should be ok here for a bit.
