I have found that caring about one kind of distinction makes you care about others. That is when I primarily care about technical accuracy I can pinpoint in my thoughts what are and what are not technicalities accurate. When there are clusters of non-technicalities they often have similar symptoms of what is needed to be done to them to aquire technical accuracy. That is I start to model them as “the enemy” and “get inside their head” in order to effectively resist them. Often this leads into insight where when you give the other motivation they more easily give the primary motivation that I care about. If I am thinking about a politically charged topic and I find my thoughts are not techincally accurate I can start naming emotions and usually the technical accuracy is easier to find. Undifferntiated they would interfere but explictly treated their pull works only in their own “worksphere”.
Significant if true & applicable to other people. I’m a bit skeptical—I sort of think it works like that, but, sort of think it would be hard to notice places where this strategy failed.
Because this strategy relies on you having behaviours that you don’t understand it includes periods where you have low introspection which could potentially be dangerous. In general if you encounter a behaviour you exhibit but don’t understnad you could let it grow so you can examine it or you could cut/kill it because it doesn’t fullfill your current alingment criteria (behaviours “too stubborn to be killed” is a common failure mode thought).
