Tradition is always in fashion. Climate & weather should dictate ones clothing.

So you would take functionality (climate & weather constraints). okay fine maybe its a monolemma for you.

I thought having stash big enough covers them all.

1.Freedom
2.Comfort
3.Security

Operational efficiency, product differentiation, reduction in costs [for startups, pick 1]

And/or not climbing on the hedonic treadmill, stepping off said hamster wheel, and/or being content with what one has.

(for work setting)

afford pleasantries, have time off, get the job done.

My take on the key one defining this board

Safety (ability to use all of societies resources if negative shock occurs)
Autonomy
Concern for others

A sociopath could embrace the first two. There are multiple examples on this board who embrace the last two. I tend to gravitate to the first and third. When I was younger, I would like to say that I valued the second and third more. But if I am truthful about how I really was, it was more the first two.

Consistency, availability, partition tolerance [for non-relational databases.]

performance, security, decentralization

1.) Interest Rates
2.) Full-Employment
3.) Inflation

When Interest rates are reduced, employment increases but inflation also increases (+, +, -).
When Interest rates are increased, employment decreases but inflation decreases as well (-, +, +).

Asset prices become a zero-sum game. Asset prices increase (some winners and losers) and savers lose out when interest rates are reduced. Asset prices decrease (some winners and losers) though savers are better positioned.

Concept, speed, accuracy [for competitive exams.]

I'm finishing reading David Graeber's / David Wengrow's book and they use a specific definition of personal freedom that can be something of a trilemma (at least in most Democratic countries?) now that I've read through some of the issues pertaining in viewtopic.php?t=12687. Particularly point 1:

1.) The ability to move.
2.) The ability to disobey.
3.) The ability to restructure social ties.

Someone growing up in North Korea though likely loses all 3....so not exactly a trilemma. Not sure which two they would get. Maybe its a sliding scale / degrees in kind.

I suppose a better use is you need all 3 to have adequate personal freedom.

Curious - I think these three are more likely to happen at the same time than not.

My reasoning: You can move [high agency], you can disobey [high disagreeableness] and once you move you'll have to restructure your social network *anyway*.

The "Moving and restructuring" component is also called "pulling a location".
