losing half of my income to imagine a version of myself with the other half of my income? I can do that for free. what on earth is supposed to be the upside here? one that's so great I'm losing half of my money?
The homeless guy in a box under a bridge has loads of leisure time. So do prisoners.
Leisure time may only be a good time if you're doing something you enjoy while you have it.
If i divide my income to two people, both are gonna have to seek "leisure" under some bridge.
Undoubtedly worse.
I would rather spend half my money to let my kid have experiences that they tell me about excitedly at dinner every night.
I don’t have any income at the moment so I’d take this deal.
But only because I’m curious what a life of leisure with the exact same material conditions would look like, as alternate me wouldn’t be benefiting any more than actual me would be losing out.
