True. It does however resolve internal conflicts between multiple parts of yourself. Often when I have an internal conflict about something (let’s say going to the gym vs going to a bar) the default action is inaction or think about this for an hour until I don’t have enough time to do any of them.
I believe this is because both actions are unacceptable for the other part, which doesn’t feel heard.
However, both parts can agree to a 66% chance of going to the gym, and 33% of going to the bar, and the die decision is ultimate.
Whenever I’ve attempted this it has failed. Each of my parts is so stubborn that they can’t even agree to obey the outcome of a die / coin flip. I just keep prevaricating. This seems like the sort of thing that takes willpower to succeed at.
I can see this being a problem. However, I see myself as someone with very low willpower and this is still not a problem for me. I think this is because of two reasons:
I never put an option on the list that I know I would/could not execute.
I regard the dice outcome as somewhat holy. I would always pay out a bet I lost to a friend. Partly, because it’s just the right thing to do and partly because I know that otherwise, the whole mechanism of betting is worthless from that moment on. I guess that all my parts are happy enough with this system that none of them want to break it by not executing the action.
