Satisficing vs. Maximizing

Wondering if anyone else on this forum can speak on the correlation between pornography and trying to maximize every aspect of life.
I noticed my unintentional need to try to be a top of every pyramid for fear of judgement slowly disappearing, and i'm wondering if anyone else can relate or perhaps it's just me.
I never really understood the sexually related crimes consistently committed at  the top of the corporate ladder, but i'm starting to believe there is a correlation between underlying addiction and the NEED to maximize...

Thoughts?

Hey man,

Sexually related crimes happen everywhere, not just at the top of corporate ladder. One thing to understand is that people in those positions often have leverage that they can often abuse to stay in power, and also that scandals like that are generally more popular in the media than lower corporate sexual assaults.

Generally (most especially for rebooters), I would argue that quitting/reducing pornography is a means of maximising your lifestyle, and is a choice that stems from an ambitious mindset. People who are willing to discipline themselves in an aspect like this will often build a greater hunger for self development. Therefore, pushing themselves to maximise their lifestyle, if not during then after the reboot.

However, I think it?s worth noting that the NEED to maximise your lifestyle should stem from a place of honest self interest, not entirely from a place of fear of judgement. To me, this just sounds like a lack of self affirmation, often paired with jealousy. Both of these things I have absolutely experienced before.

If you?re currently reducing porn and engaging in a healthier lifestyle, it doesn?t surprise me that this NEED to be ?maximising? is decreasing, probably because it?s coming from a bad place. You are probably learning that you don?t need to hold onto inadequacies anymore. Give it time, keep on an honest and positive path and you?ll see healthy ambition return my friend.
