This is not commenting on the substance of this post, but I really feel like the title of this post should be “The self-alignment problem”.
Like, we talk about “The alignment problem” not “The unalignment problem”. The current title makes me think that the problem is that I somehow have to unalign myself, which doesn’t really make sense.
But then, “the self-alignment problem” would likewise make it sound like it’s about how you need to align yourself with yourself. And while it is the case that increased self-alignment is generally very good and that not being self-aligned causes problems for the person in question, that’s not actually the problem the post is talking about.

I don’t know / talked with a few people before posting, and it seems opinions differ.
We also talk about e.g. “the drought problem” where we don’t aim to get landscape dry.
Also as Kaj wrote, the problem also isn’t how to get self-unaligned
