This is what Spengler was talking about. You went full Redditard. We must expel the liberalism within us.
All profit is psychic profit. Every human action is a rational act to make their situation better, as the individual perceives it in that moment according to his subjective ordinal values. You're stuck in a framework of pure material hedonism, which is the foundation of the current regime's political formula.
Our relationships with other people is what defines us, sanctifies us, and uplifts us. To deny such is to degrade humanity to mere mechanistic cogs. In such a hell of man's own making, husks of once-men may be shuffled about from pod to pod by the great bureaucracy.
I have to ask now: do you trust your own emotions? I don't mean as a guiding beacon for making decisions, either. What you just said implies that you can't ever trust that your emotions are anything but illusions and trickery.
If you want to ignore/discard your emotions, that's your right, of course. But "sunken cost fallacy" applies outside of emotions as well, and I don't want to see people crippled by self-doubt.
Pretty much. You have to shut emotion out of big decisions or you will justify whatever mistake you make after the fact.
Sunken cost fallacy is predominantly a financial thing, with either investments "I dumped $1000 into GameStop, maybe I should buy more to average down" or overrunning projects "This roof rebuild is taking way longer than it should have, but I can't give up now". But it can be referred to in any situation, including the vaccine "I've already got it, but I guess I should get the booster to keep it working", marriage "I'm already in one, they can't be that bad. I just have to hold the line and hope it doesn't get like people say" etc.
As Warren Buffett says, nobody cares how much you put in to achieve something, only the value of it, as he found out when he tried to keep the original business behind Berkshire Hathaway running. It was a lot of effort for low rewards relative to it.
Gaining tangible value. As in something that exists and can be quantified.

You're making a distinction where there is none.
Emotional gain is subjective and can be influenced by the sunk cost fallacy.
You're tripling down on bullshit, man.
I ask again:
Are you serious with this line of argument?
I'm 100% serious. You can rationalize anything by arguing on emotion.
Even the retards who got the vax can say "well, it makes me feel safe" even though there's no quantifiable gain.
