This post made me update moderately towards comfort with hypocrisy.
That said, I think it’s important that advice cannot be merely completed, but the advice-receiver will also have akratic issues etc. If you haven’t got a license, the amount of value you’ve gotten from having a license is zero. If you have made any attempts to get one (maintaining it as a todo, some first driving lessons), you’re in the red as far as the getting a license project goes.
Without highlighting distinguishing features between the advice-giver and advice-receiver, I think it’s a reasonable application of outside view to expect similar outcomes.
This doesn’t really feel like it would cause the emotional valence of hypocrisy, which makes it seem more likely that it’s an anti-cheating tool.
Yeah, it is some evidence. In my case, so many people get a license successfully that it would drown out the small amount of evidence provided by my individual case.… except that I usually end up talking to people somewhat similar to myself, and in particular, an awful lot of them seem not to have a license!
I don’t think I should get a license that strongly, though. I mean, I do think I should get a license. But, it doesn’t seem very important.
