I suspect that replacing it with “situation where others will likely benefit from my efforts more than I wish them to” would capture the bulk of what’s meant here. A somewhat more precise version might be “situation where others will likely benefit from my efforts in such a way that if I (or others implementing the same algorithm I do) were predictably an unreliable source of benefits they (and others implementing the same algorithm they do) would be less likely to place me/us in said situation, and I value that second state more than the first one.”
Seems like a lot words to express:
Akrasia is an adaptive response to conserve energy while in an exploiting hierarchy.
Lord knows this is usually why I don’t get much work done at work.
How long would that summary be after tabooing exploiting hierarchy?
