        2/ my point here is "shitty and unpleasant" is a cheap / not super useful critique. A better framing is, I think, one that includes near term payoffs, longer term payoffs, and how evolution has programmed us to prefer one to another because we evolved in a high risk environment

        3/ evolution has programmed us to prefer super stimuli for sugars, fats, hot tindr sex, and gossiping over work, savings, responsible eating, etc., for 2 reasons: i) in the state of nature, supplies are limited, thus infinite demand is a good calibration with no downsides

        4/ ii) you might very well not live for another 10 years, and so procreating (or whatever) RIGHT NOW (if you can) is a better strategy than delaying. oddly, however, evolution also gifted us with brains that are useful for (a) scheming for the above resources, but ALSO >>>

        5/ those brains are useful for introspecting and realizing that the things that we scheme for in the short term are perhaps better deferred or delayed for other goods.

        6/ yes, I agree the simplistic trad argument is simplistic but... I don't think going from level n to n+1 (or maybe a different argument at level n) is the win, when n+8 is available to us (is the win for ME that is; may be great for other audiences)https://twitter.com/drethelin/status/1417853954017406976 …

        It’s completely useful as a critique when the trad arguments tend to completely ignore it
