A comment on Ask HN: When or how do people change their thoughts and preferences?.
Comfort and convenience breeds complicity within us.
A certain amount of what conventional society accepts as normal is a civilized mesh of self deception and lies.
Thoughts and preferences are more like chemistry than a decision support matrix.
To change outcomes, reactions must change. To change reactions potentials must change. To change potentials ingredients and work must be added.
Aren’t you glad you’re amusing yourself in some other way?
People who become their own masters learn to change themselves. Reflect, plan, prepare, and do the work.
And this will only come of an imperative beyond sublime comfort and convenience
