      There's a reason why MoH awardess (and others) are revered in the military. The historical study of heroism, tactics, and strategy is simply precache of best practice.

      31/ I have rarely done things that I'm later proud of after careful thought (in the moment of decision). Most of the things I'm later proud of came after snap decisions, in the moment ... that were based on months or years of reflection and self-definition vs heroes & tropes.

      32/ If you let yourself first ponder whether you're the kind of guy who will { cheat on your wife | run into a burning building to save a child | keep the money in the wallet you find | etc } when you are presented with the choice, your chance of choosing poorly is, IMO, high.

      33/ There's a reason that we decouple selling a movie ticket from redeeming a movie ticket - it means that neither the seller nor the redeemer has an incentive or approach to pocket the money.

      34/ This works when there are two agents (two employees at the theater). Likewise, decoupling, in time, the two agents inside your own head: the decision maker and the decision follower, is a cognitive / social hack that makes collusion harder.

      35/ so, in the individual case, you get to decide which heroes you want to study and emulate. Heracles? George Washington ? Isambard Kingdom Brunell? Malcolm X? However, this is not an unbounded person decision. The menu of heroes you see is curated by society.

      This rings very true. Movies are great for playing scenarios and imagining how you’d handle it — what would John Wayne do? Also some personal referents: dad, brother, some guy you heard say something cool in some situation... all stoked away into heuristics of responses or poses.

      37/ It will not surprise you to learn that I (a socialcon, a rationalist (broadly speaking, not Big Yud trademarked version), and a Catholic) am absolutely appalled by the post-civilization / anti-civilization slate of heroes and tropes that our current cultural betters prepare.

      38/ I talked earlier about fixed points in computations. Societies can not be static, and so they will always evolve, and their tropes and heroes and gods will change over time. We have seen, in the New Ideology, a huge act of myth/hero/god-making in just a few decades >

          44/ I suspect that the left's new gods, while much louder and bigger, are not fixed points. childless-gay-sports-woman seems like she can peel off a lot of believers from older gods in societal iteration #498, but I'm not sure how many believers she'll have in iteration #499
