I’m not saying commitments aren’t useful, I’m just not sure how you can make them. How do you prevent your future self from reasoning their way out of them?
Our brain has several mechanisms by which we can make commitments: Honor. Pride. Duty. Guilt. You can use any of those emotional mechanisms to the service of enforcing commitments.
