I think what I’m getting at is a desire for better self-awareness in people giving advice. I think it’s fine to give the alternative, brute force methodology version (step-by-step philosophy to happiness / probability theory) as a way to artifically make up for it in the absence of the original way of acquiring the skill (of happiness / future vision). So I think what Saphire’s doing is fine, except if it’s under the pretense that that’s how you actual acquired the skill in the first place, which I think reflects lack of self awareness.
