  • So you draw a spectrum. You have 0/1 on one end, and 1/0 on the other. The numerator is the effectiveness of your actions, and the denominator is the limit you put on the number of actions. The spectrum moves from quantity to quality thus: You have an infinite number of actions with no effectiveness at all, or you can have no actions at all which have infinite effectiveness. The latter is hard perfectionism, and the former is, lets call it particularism. Where you place is down to choice.

  • I must say i am quite impressed with your ability to communicate your thoughts! I heared your name first when I witnessed a movement I support (The Zeitgeist Movement) fail miserably in their attempt to have a constructive debate with you. I still believe there is no such thing as a "free-market", but nevertheless you are a clever chap , with a sense of logic I relate to. Thumbs up!

  • Agree, except the title should have been "Death by obsessive compulsive disorder(its a disease)" and not perfectionism. Perfection should always be treated in the broader sense keeping (as mentioned) purpose(happiness) of ones life as the ultimate yardstick. In his case the goal is successful conduct of the upcoming meeting(which fits with his broader purpose) which automatically undermines the importance of keeping the shoes of the people coming clean as of no significance!!

  • Absolutly loved it! Right on the point! Good job!
