Ive been thinking more. How do you account for akrasia? What is this Will that fails? Is it purely a failure of knowledge? I heard @SamHarrisOrg once say that all evil was just malfunctioning brains. I’d like to hear your idea on it.https://twitter.com/Plinz/status/1054152119186571265 …
Akrasia may be a control related attention deficit, and attention deficit is the inability to regulate attention in such a that you maximize expected reward. I suspect that it is an organic defect (insufficient neural signal propagation). I don't agree with Sam Harris' optimism.

Which memes give you reason for concern? (I am often missing the ways in which I am prone to be misunderstood, overinterpreted, conjecture seen as authoritative proof, or ironic self depreciation is seen as genuine supremacism.)
