Values

# Values I have a weird thing where I believe that naked values (like “curiosity” or “kindness”) are meaningless. Values need to be expressed as they actually are: which side you choose in a tradeoff between *two good things*. - Adventure over safety - Clear communication over feelings - Action over complete certainty - People over dogma - Hard truths over feelings - Excitement over expertise - Awesomeness over correctness - Tribe over strangers - Individuals over heuristics - Ambition over friendliness - Honesty over niceness - Science over dogma - Discomfort over ease - Failure over dishonesty - Authenticity over likability - Frameworks over whims - Systems = Story - Clear rules over ambiguous guidelines - Expression of needs over expectations - Specificity over accuracy - Prototypes over pitch decks - Heterogeneity over cohesiveness - Star Wars over Star Trek - Magic over efficiency - Magic over technology - Why over how - Extremes over balance - Reliability over availability - [[Odyssean]] over [[Apollonian]] and [[Dionysean]] - Reality over reputation  [Web URL for this note](http://notes.benjaminreinhardt.com/Values) [Comment on this note](http://via.hypothes.is/http://notes.benjaminreinhardt.com/Values)
