We have precommitments already. It’s just that every time someone follows through on one, people at LW are eager to jump on them for being irrational because they obviously made the choice that produces less of what they want than some alternative choice. But emotional reactions that predictably lead to “irrational” behavior are forms of precommitment.
Of course this doesn’t lead to arbitrary precommitments.
