Utility models
Tired from all the drama in my life, I said this to H the other day."I wish life was just H and S."
It made him happy. And that made me happy. Sometimes, life can be so simply satisfying. Although the climb in achieving the desired simplicity stands in our way oh so often.
Oh and GEEK TIME! Just because I really love putting what I learn into actual practical usage.
(I actually find that a really good way to internalize knowledge that I acquire from exam cramming.)
Just some simple math cos I'm no Einstein or Zhao Ye;
Let's say X refers to the group of friends that make me happy.
So X equals to U, my level of utility.
Does that mean that as the magnitude of X increases, U increases as well? After all, it can't be inversely proportionate.
So I guess the answer to this question lies in how my utility curve looks like.
Lets say X is a function of different individuals.
U = X
U = F(H, S, M, G, J, others)
Assuming constant returns to scale, an increase in U refers to a proportionate increase in H, S, M, G, J, others.
I reckon my utility model would be something like U = H^a * S^b * M^c * G^d * J^e * others^f
where a+b+c+d+e+f=1 and 0 lessthan a,b,c,d,e,f lessthan 1.
(ie increase by factor z for each variable results in increase by factor z in U)
Then how come it always feel like the more I feel loved by them, the harder it is for me to feel happy?
So much for simplicity. I'm just freaking out about the release of exam results for this semester. FML.
PS FB Chat really needs to straighten its game. It's hard for me to copy paste convos to laugh at.
