I’ve been in Berlin at a quarterly sales meeting this week. It’s a big room of people, new and veterans. Traveling from Amsterdam to Berlin is just an hour, the old you spend longer in the airports than the actual flight thing. It proves out the whole reason for moving here though: business traveling in…

Link: On Preferring A to B, while also preferring B to A
‘There is a tendency to think that joint evaluation is always better since it is the “full information” condition. Sunstein pushes against this interpretation because he argues that full information doesn’t mean full rationality.’ Placing value on something is situational and filled mostly with personal (or organization) judgement.
