I am interested in whether your attitude will change with the change of body/fitness that may come from more freedom/movement.
Particularly how you might have advised the earlier you to look in a place where you were not looking.
Especially as it relates to blind spots and perceived blind spots to general rational thinking. Potentially many regular writers on lesswrong are uncovering blind spots. My open question to you is:
What factors changed this particular blind spot?
Does that translate into any more general strategies?
The catalyst was the Costco scooter and from there it was just a matter of hunting down something with the right specs, but what led me to trying it that day? I don’t know, probably some combination of “they were right there and obviously free to try” and “I really really wanted to sit down right then” (maybe we parked far away).

I think it’s not unrelated to https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/9ZodFr54FtpLThHZh/experiential-pica as a concept. If you do something weird, that might just be you being weird, but there could also be an underlying problem you could fix.
