I like this post, and I feel it is a great demonstration of how optimality as a motivator basically sucks without an emotionally engaging picture/narrative to tie it to. For the longest time I failed to get that the ancient marketing wisdom of “tell a story people want to be a part of” works just as well on yourself as others.
Totally. It’s important to beat these ideas into a shape consumable by a human. I’ve been thinking about doing this with “Epistemology for Humans”. Perhaps I will.
