Subselves: We use different mental processes in different situations, so each of us is not a single character but a collection of different characters, who take turns to commandeer the body depending on the situation. There is an office “you”, a lover “you”, an online “you”, etc.

Pareidolia: For aeons predators stalked us in undergrowth & shadow. In such times survival favored the paranoid—those who could discern a wolf from the vaguest of outlines. This paranoia preserved our species, but cursed us with pareidolia, so we now see wolves even in the skies.pic.twitter.com/9pxdCZ4MrN

While it’s certainly true that some addicts’ suicides may be unrelated to their disease, depression is one of many core products of the addiction process. To write them all off would be a mistake. (Not that you’re doing with this example)

But can you isolate the drug habit from the suicide? Isn’t the brain, and, therefore, its chemistry, inextricably involved in both addiction and suicide? Teasing them apart might be a narrative fallacy...
