I concur. Section 2 is good advice to those who have not previously considered that point of view: Tell Your Brain Who’s In Charge. If I ended up grudgingly making muffins with my muffin tin at Illuminati parties just to make it useful, resenting the burden of the process, I could just as easily update on that emotional input, and then sell my muffin tin. It’s possible to use this skill intelligently.
Because if you found you actually did enjoy using the muffin tin, you could end up in a positive mental state of your choosing, while still having the option to reverse it. That seemed preferable to selling it without experimenting first, although I have heard that cats have met their demise by such methods.

It doesn’t seem so. Can you elaborate?
