In psychology (or behavioral economics) you might hear people talking about "hyperbolic discounting", which is basically the fancy version of "something now is better than something later".<p>This can also have the effect of making your new idea seem better than doing the same thing next year.<p>This article is hyperbolic discounting in action, and it is irrational. He has actively changed his method so he gets to feel the rush more often, which also inherently maximizes his impulsiveness.<p>However, I don't think an article called "Be as impulsive as possible" would have the same ring to it.<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_discounting" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_discounting</a>
