Most of our everyday choices are between similar things; what movie to watch, what brand of toothpaste to buy. Fredkin’s paradox states that the more similar two choices seem, the less the decision should matter, yet the harder it is to choose between them. As a result, we often spend the most time on the decisions that matter least.
In other words, I took notes when I was younger in order to learn. But I now take notes in order to enhance my own ways of engaging with the world.
