You do all the tricks to maximize the objective function (TC)
Sex is definitely non convex. For YEARS I've been trying to get buffed, learn swag talk, pretend to be interesting and what not, so I can maybe get a date with a very average woman. Then I learned how to use money, how to show I'm rich without being that asshole who shows he's rich, how to tell people money is not important, only love is, and at the same time signal my millions.
Which one worked better ?
Let's just say I look down on Ashton Kutcher.
If it was convex it would be a LP and life would be easy. Too bad life aint linear.
Life is a convex optimization problem if your brain is a single neuron.
I would say life is more like MDP
It’s the other way
