Similarly, people are irrational when they speed on the road. It might feel in the moment like you’re getting to your destination faster, but you really aren’t.

Instead of racing at 80mph on 280, try 65mph instead. You won’t be later, it is safer, and you’re more fuel efficient.

Or instead of racing from red traffic light to red traffic light in Manhattan, cruise slower. Everything will be better.

Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu figured out something similar a few years earlier.
