I expect Tyler Cowen
to jump in here and point out that this applies to food, too: you
should try something new frequently, rather than sticking to old
favourites.
Here is the modeler, a few remarks:
1. If you are in a good restaurant, try something that doesn’t sound appealing. If it seems bad to most customers, it is on the menu for some other good reason, such as how it tastes.
2. The best argument against trying new things is wanting to keep the pleasures of anticipation.
3. Beware those who try many new things, it is often their sneaky form of conservatism. In many fields of interest, trying new things is the only sustainable routine.
4. The person who tries new things only "every now and then" is often, in real terms, the greater innovator. Such occasional quests for novelties have greater potential to be true earthquakes.
5. People have only so much toleration for novelty in them; no one embraces novelty consistently and in all fields of life. Spend your tolerance for novelty wisely.
6. To prevent "trying new things" from becoming stale in its own terms, I have two tips. First, spend time with children,. Second, try "not trying anything new for a while," that is if you can.
7. Many people try new things for pre-emptive reasons; "I’d better try it before it tries me."
How do you keep track of all your schemes for living? Does all the scheming ever detract from the experience?
If you are in a good restaurant, try something that doesn’t sound appealing.
This is even more true in Chinese restaurants that cater to an Asian clientele. My rule has always been “if you don’t know what it is, order it and find out.” Some of the most vile-sounding things have turned out to be absolutely delicious. Then again, some of them have turned out to be as vile as they sounded. But it’s always educational. I call it “Menu Roulette”.
I’ve lately noticed that a number of men that I admire most tend to eat more for fuel than for pleasure. That is how I am, so of course I interpret that to be a positive, but I haven’t really connected that to anything else yet.
i find i tend to do something beyond the point at which the action yields any pleasure. the thing i once enjoyed doing now causes me a bit of discomfort, out of boredom perhaps, but not as much discomfort as the process of seaking out something new to do would.
but at some point the cost of continuing doing the same thing seems to exceed the cost of seaking out something new to do. and then i tend to change my approach.
i probably have what (if i understand right) is a somewhat high discount rate, so i might not plan ahead for these phases of boredom, and only act when they are upon me, or imminent.
I liked #4. This is the converse of the person who likes novelty for novelty’s sake. That is, by definition, fickle.
In a favorite restaurant, I’ll usually stick to my tried and true plates as I want to leave satisfied; if I were in the mood to experiment, I’d go some place else.
Travelling overseas, particularly the poorer countries, I enjoyed trying the new dishes without barely a question. (Sight and smell playing major roles of course – if it smells like garbage or looks like uncooked intestines, well. . . )
True novelty (i.e. novelty which contributes to value)
is rare in established areas of commerce; in areas of long
competition, most easily discovered innovations have already been found.
But, claims of novelty are very common in well-established fields.
If most assertions of novelty are therefore false, then the assertion of
novelty in ordinary cirucmstances is a sign of misdirection.
There is a stong incentive to misdirect with claims of false novelty
for things that could not recommend themselves according to
well-established norms.
For well-established fields, in sum, claims of novelty are likely to
be efforts to cause a misjudgment of true value.
Does your advice apply to personal relationships as well (and, if so, how do you implement it within a monogamous marriage)? I have in mind here the JPE article of nearly 30 years ago that illustrated a positive income elasticity of demand for variety in sexual partners.
Unfortunately, with my eclectic palate, the only thing on the menu that doesn’t sound appealing is that boring slab of beef they call “steak”, so this technique is of limited value to me.
3. Beware those who try many new things, it is often their sneaky form of conservatism. In many fields of interest, trying new things is the only sustainable routine.
Does anyone else not understand this? Is there an inherent conflict between conservatism and sustainability I’m not aware of?
