I disagree, what if not time is worth optimizing? It's the only thing you can't get more of.

edit getting down voted by the immortal apparently...

What bigger optimization of time could there be other than spending it doing something you love doing? You can't put it in a bank.

But to what end and for who's benefit? What is the point of the optimization of your time?

For your own benefit mostly. If you want to spend some time for the benefit of society at large, so much the better. But at least you should care about your own benefit.

It just makes me think of the story of the fisherman: https://paulocoelhoblog.com/2015/09/04/the-fisherman-and-the...

Your replies seem to indicate that he should spend his time doing "productive" things instead; that would be more "optimal". I guess I'm tired of this race-to-the-bottom mentality where we spend so much time "optimizing" our productivity that we optimize the joy out of life. Productivity is a good thing, but I'm not convinced it is the greatest good.
