  1. I have always found it difficult to adopt a carefree attitude and just "go with the flow". When on holiday, it is more likely that I will create a detailed itinerary and obsess about visiting every possible attraction, regardless of whether this may be detrimental to my enjoyment. As ridiculous as it sounds, failure to do this can result in me feeling as if I have somehow failed to complete the task that I have assigned myself.

    During this weekend's trip to Chester (which was a birthday present from my wonderful wife), however, the most enjoyable aspect was simply walking around without a plan or having to stick to times. There is an abundance of historical sites and impressive architecture in Chester, but I was happy to visit only what was convenient. Maybe there's hope for me yet 😃

  3. Perfectionists when they meet the Nirvana fallacy. :P

    The nirvana fallacy is the informal fallacy of comparing actual things with unrealistic, idealized alternatives. It can also refer to the tendency to assume there is a perfect solution to a particular problem. A closely related concept is the "perfect solution fallacy".

    By creating a false dichotomy that presents one option which is obviously advantageous—while at the same time being completely unrealistic—a person using the nirvana fallacy can attack any opposing idea because it is imperfect. Under this fallacy, the choice is not between real world solutions; it is, rather, a choice between one realistic achievable possibility and another unrealistic solution that could in some way be "better".

    It is also related to the appeal to purity fallacy where the person rejects all criticism on basis of it being applied to a non ideal case.

    History

    In La Bégueule (1772), Voltaire wrote Le mieux est l'ennemi du bien, which is often translated as "The perfect is the enemy of the good" (literally: "The best is the enemy of the good").

    The nirvana fallacy was given its name by economist Harold Demsetz in 1969, who said:

    The view that now pervades much public policy economics implicitly presents the relevant choice as between an ideal norm and an existing "imperfect" institutional arrangement. This nirvana approach differs considerably from a comparative institution approach in which the relevant choice is between alternative real institutional arrangements.

  5. Коли в душі ти — перфекціоніст, і навіть сміттєвий контейнер має стояти ідеально. 😅 Туди... ні, сюди... А може, отак?

    When you're a perfectionist at heart, and even the trash bin has to be perfectly placed. 😅 Over there... no, here... Or maybe like this?

  6. Being both a perfectionist AND a meteorologist is a difficult combination, but just like Michael Scott's book in The Office, "Somehow I Manage." 😄

  8. A quotation from Roosevelt, Theodore:

    The worth of the ideal must be largely determined by the success with which it can in practice be realized. We should abhor the so-called “practical” men whose practicality assumes the shape of that peculiar baseness which finds its expression in disbel…

  11. Did the yearly "Are there any desktop monitors yet that ticks off all my boxes". And it seems like my 24" 1080p screen from 2010 will have to do for a while longer.

  16. I am far from perfect and neither do others.

    Why does someone keep expecting others to always do something perfectly while he/she is not able to do it as well?
