The analysis and recommendations seemed very “high-level mappy” to me.
The question is really about how we control our behavior.
“Habits” are really just decisions to do certain things. Maybe they involve less thought, but they certainly aren’t unconscious actions.
Saying to just keep the cue and reward but change the routine seems very “high-level mappy” to me. Surely you could come up with a better algorithm for changing undesirable behavior than that. This would involve identifying the more root causes of the behavior, and addressing them. For example, I think the root cause of a lot of bad habits is poor rationality. People would be able to resist bad habits more if they had better decisions making an analysis skills.
Of course they can be unconscious (or rather, we can lack consciousness of them). Many times someone’s asked me about a martial arts technique or response, and I’ve said, “I don’t know, attack me.” (These would be relatively safe techniques.)
