Yes, this is a great point. Predictability is efficiency and efficiency lets you accomplish more with less. That's a good thing when it comes to conserving resources, fighting climate change, or even just making the most of your time on Earth.

However, like most things, the optimal point is probably not at either extreme. Maximum predictability and efficiency is how you get monocultures, authoritarian conformism, and a life so indistinguishable from everyone else's that there's little point living it.
