so I just realise that many of my reasons are grounded in wanting to be normal. My appreciation for normality is grounded in many antecedent assumptions I didn’t think to question until I reognised that prior assumptions are consequential to the others.
Kaj, I like your writing better than Anna Salamon’s. I feel this post is much better than the one on cached selves. The strategies mentioned there focus on bypassing a tendency. Alternatively, one could treat it as reason to be more selective with one’s social circle and benefit from people’s prosociality.
That being said, both of you do better in your informal experiments than a lot of other respected LWers. For instance, Vladimir_golovin I wouldn’t take that akrasia combat technique seriously unless someone did an experiment controlling for awareness that they are combating akrasia creating the increased perception of improvement.
how considerate of you!
