After writing this I realized this is really only applicable to people that are on the fence of actually commiting with their ascension, in reference to hardmaxxing.
When accessing ascension, is it reasonable to access risk to reward? I was thinking about this and honestly I think that the concept of whether you can make a probable expectation of the risk and rewards is completely figment. You truly never know the outcome of whatever looksmax you do. Most people would say:
'bro you can assume if I do x, y is bound to happen'
for example:
'dude if I ascend then maybe this facet will improve in my life'
What I mean is, you never TRULY know whatever risk you are taking is going to result in your desired outcome. This is applicable to all things in life. Of course, you can 'probabilistically conclude certain outputs off given inputs'
. Which is what a faggot would say, but let's be honest, certainty is never known.
That said... just hardmax bro.
That's what I would like to say, but it's never that simple. For example I was talking to my friend at college about hardmaxxing and he was talking about the side effects of test. Alot of you probably would say test is a softmax lol but whatever. My friend mentions about the consequences of test. He says that 'you won't feel the same once you are off of it', then he says 'i'm worried about my long term health'
Yea, i mean, valid concerns i guess, but how serious is this to you? Is the risk of organ failure (cope) or dependency (just pct) outweigh the rewards of ascension???
Bro, who the hell is supposed to decide that, you can't quantify potential happiness, you don't even know the potential, you just gotta experience it
.
Which leads me to my actual point (ik i'm yapping).
Every decision we make, depends on the thing or things opportunity cost (for the most part). Looksmaxxing is different however. You can quantify material things like the opportunity cost of buying grocceries and buying tickets to the movies, but not looksmaxxing. You can't compare the relative benefit of either taking test or test and tren, this is something you have to experience. Because you will never know if taking just test, or test and tren was worth it.
So what i'm getting at is you never know what is really going to make your life better, so might aswell just do it

I saw a johnny skywalker edit on tiktok which inspired this post.
