Can there be such a thing as too much fun?
Can there be such a thing as too much profit?
In both cases, I think ‘no’. And I wonder if the fear of ‘too much’ fun and ‘too much’ profit is fundamentally the same thing.
Like, when parents worry that their kids are having too much fun, and when socialists are suspicious of companies turning a profit… is that an expression of the same fear?
Maybe the role of profit in the economy is the same as that of fun in a single mind: it signals successful discovery of common preferences.
