      I think you should drop the s1/s2 metaphor and think in terms of universal Turing machines and cellular automata S1-s2 is too sloppy and neurospecific in a way that obscures the problem

      Hmm ya. We are trying to reason about ecologies, after all. I do still find it curious that sometimes data immediately leads to behavior change and other times it takes repeated exposure. Habit as attractors -- glider guns in CA - of varying stability?

      I think that understanding the role of internal conflict is really important here. Reading about Perceptual Control Theory helped me a ton with this. I highly recommend checking out this book https://www.amazon.com/Making-Sense-Behavior-Meaning-Control/dp/0964712156/ … or B:CP if you wanna get technical:https://www.amazon.com/Behavior-Perception-William-T-Powers/dp/0964712172/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1514756501&sr=8-1&keywords=behavior+control+of+perception …

      Also related to this is Robert Kegan's work on what he calls Competing Commitments. It's described in most detail in Immunity to Change: https://www.amazon.com/Immunity-Change-Potential-Organization-Leadership/dp/1422117367/ … Where PCT has really good theory, the ITC framework has pretty good steps for resolving competing commitments.

      The Guru Papers ch. on addiction also notes the role of conflict in internal stuckness: What's clear is that the smoking *is* meeting some need (not just chemically), even if that need is unacknowledged or furthermore, *repudiated*.pic.twitter.com/LNcSQuyIZ8

      _The Guru Papers_ is a giant sprawling mess of a braindump, but has numerous insights into diverse psychological topics (mostly having nothing to do with gurus). I recommend it!https://meaningness.com/metablog/guru-papers-monism-control …

      Speaking of braindumps, it would be awesome to get the Lost Manuscripts of Control. Any strategies for this? Looks like http://joeldiana.com  is down as of mid-2017...

      Yeah, I had the same thought! I spent some time scouring the web a year or two ago and turned up some bits but not much. Maybe a pilgrimage to implore the gurus for their wisdom is in order :)

          Guru relationships are constructed to be basically induced bipolar disorder. They can only be at absolute trust and absolute betrayal, with no room for the more complex/complete kind based on qualified, context-sensitive trust. This is why I was never even remotely susceptible.
