C'mon. Showering and shampooing takes me maybe half a minute longer than showering without shampooing, and a half-litre bottle of the shampoo I use costs around three euros (around four dollars) IIRC and lasts about half a year.
Yeah, so it's not a lot of time and money. I get that. Enough money to pay for RTM, maybe. But it's basically free time and money, so why not pick it up?
I'm curious now how the time saved by not-shampooing compares to the time spent discussing not-shampooing on LW, and the relative payoffs of both. Of course, that's not to suggest that the former necessarily entails the latter.
The most worrying cost of time spent discussing not-shampooing on LW is the opportunity cost, since it funges against talking about more important things. There's a smallish chance someone could've given me useful information (e.g. "actually if you don't shampoo all your hair will fall out") but that currently seems unlikely, so maybe we should just stop talking about it.
