Heyo, after your correction I still think the main thrust of my reply isn’t changed. Your correction mostly just makes me wrong to think that you argued that people that disendorse their status-seeking parts don’t have long-term plans, rather than that their long-term planning rationality is worsened. I think I still disagree that their planning is worsened though, but my disagreement is sort of subtle and maybe not worth explaining given opportunity costs. I also stand by my main and mostly-orthogonal points about the importance of not dealing with demons (alternatively, “not making concessions to evil” or summat);—another person you could talk to about that theme would be Nick Tarleton, whose opinion is I think somewhere between ours but is (surprisingly) closer to mine than yours, at least recently. He’s probably better at talking about these things than I am.

Thanks for the brief convo by the way. :)
