Given the presence of mood fluctuations and other noise, repeatedly being triggered to re-evaluate a decision on whether or not to take a one-shot action when not much has relevantly changed in the meantime seems subject to a temporal unilateralist’s curse: if you at time 1000 choose to do the action even if you at times 0–999 didn’t choose it and you at times 1001–1999 wouldn’t have chosen it, it still happens. The most well-known example that comes to mind of this being bad is addiction and “falling off the wagon”, but it seems like it generalizes.
