There’s a dynamic where we don’t feel yumminess for things we have and are confident that we will continue having, even when those things are very valuable to us.
I’d highlight there the distinction between “terminal-ish” values vs “instrumental-ish” values. Part of “don’t be an idiot about it” is to not just myopically chase the terminal-ish yumminess feelings; rather, plan ahead to embrace more yumminess feelings long term by working on instrumental-ish value (which might not provide yummy feelings in its own right) shorter term.
