This is awesomely hilarious. People are constantly trying to optimize me too.

Hey, you know what I've discovered that really works to stop that?

...no, just kidding. So is that because they care about Seasteading or because you seem to them like such a rational person? Do you know?

Weirdly, no-one I know face-to-face is trying to optimise me, and I actively solicit advice on how to get more done.
