What is a good ratio between good times and enjoyment and, contrastingly, asceticism and longevity. Three to two, four to one, two to three? Granted these are not necessarily mutually exclusive ideas, and this is an abstract way of viewing life, what should folks be aiming for? What are some factors which influence the number? What creates the greatest long term happiness? What is the ideal way to carry on? n.b., Please do not spend too much time spinning your wheels on some anomaly like cancer patients, death row inmates, crack gang runners, or bounty hunters who perhaps have a more finite amount of time on Earth than the rest of us.

Hmm. For INTPs, I think 1:1-5 would be ideal. I think I'm somewhere along the lines of 1:50, provided that 'good times and enjoyment' excludes laughing with myself.
