Bad Values


Bad values are just the opposite as Good Values. They're:

  1. Superstitious
  2. Socially destructive
  3. Not immediate or controllable
Example

Popularity is a bad value. If that’s your value, and if your metric is being the most popular guy/girl at the dance party, much of what happens will be out of your control: you don’t know who else will be at the event, and you probably won’t know who half those people are. Second, the value/metric isn’t based on reality: you may feel popular or unpopular, when in fact you have no fucking clue what anybody else really thinks about you.
