I am honestly concerned for Gwern's mental health. So much personal optimization taken to such an extreme, doing blatantly illegal things and blogging about it. Some are probably quite unhealthy.I am all for being the best person we all can be -- but Gwern seems to have made personal optimization the end goal itself.I think we should aim to be happy well adjusted people, not work ourselves to death, not drug ourselves to our physical limit.There were times in my life when I behaved similarly and it was rooted in deep dissatisfaction with life.To be clear, this is not an ad hominem attack.
