Not lying to myself in order to get myself to do things. Not pretending I can affect the past. Reminding myself that I want to believe what’s true and that I want to do what’s highest expected value. Doing the best with what I have, keeping my actual long-term goals in mind, listening to heavy metal music, and generally feeling like a badass.
I’ve found training myself in a consequentialist/rationalist role to be pretty useful in my own life.
What does that role entail for you?

Awesome :)
