Well, I haven’t tried it on something I don’t elephant-endorse yet.
I think I previously had a strong sense of there being a part of me that actively didn’t want me to do various things, but in the striatum-receiving-bids model of action selection it makes more sense to think of not-doing-anything as the default thing that happens in the absence of sufficiently strong bids, and all I’m doing is amplifying whatever bids are present, which feels less bad to me than crashing through my resistance.

Hmmmmmm. Yeahhh, let me try it on something I actually want to do.
Suspicious. I immediately sat up, and there was no notable resistance.
If it only works on things I want to do, then this technique is asymmetric, not symmetric for me. Which I guess is a good thing.
I can’t tell if it’s symmetric for the rest of ya’ll.
