Is there a reason to reset after hitting diminishing returns for Karma and Paragon?
From my first reset I got 149 Paragon and 23 Karma, which is nice, because it gave +23 Happiness and +149% productivity (on most resources), noticeably increasing my resource production.
Now from the second reset I got another 81 Paragon for a total of 230, but my productivity only increased from 149% to 188%. Similarly, Karma only increased from 23 to 27.8. This makes sense because there are diminishing returns for both Paragon (capped at 200%) and Karma Kittens (some kind of square root function).
Since it took me a few weeks of sporadic playing to get from first to second reset, I'm now wondering if further resets would actually be any good. If the time spent building my village to, say, 150 Kittens will only yield a handful percentage points of increased productivity after resetting, I'd not consider it worthwhile.
Or are there other uses for large amounts of Karma and Paragon that I'm currently not aware of? I know there's Metaphysics, which allows you to spend Paragon, but I don't know how much I would need there.

How many karma points does it take to reset a kitten game?
Karma: Karma is gained when you reset with more than 35 kittens. Karma gives +10% happiness for having it, and 1% happiness for each point as well. This does have a diminishing effect to keep it from becoming too over powering.When should I burn paragon?
You need normal paragon to complement it, so burn right before you reset (unless you go for the achievement).Should Paragon Use The Law of Diminishing Returns? || Paragon v. 42.2
