"People will forgive you for being wrong, never for being right." Implement solutions directly never works b/c of this. One alternative is via a form of abandonment. Make it abundantly clearly that someone has fucked themselves by having no part in the process whatsoever.

This isn't a perfect mechanism but it's a commonly used threat, especially in families. The threat to withhold love. It is disastrous however when you can just buy anti-loneliness off the shelf via social media or live streaming anything.

Instead of "learning the lesson" when you get tired of fucking yourself you and others can fuck yourself(metaphysically) in endlessly interesting and novel ways. There's an illusion of progress.

The more novel the weapons against "Death" (here manifested as the Specter of abandonment and betrayal) the more one feels closer to "immortality". Progress is made towards infinity step by step.

The Specter interestingly enough IS immortal, or becomes immortal when its original source dies. If you can't talk to your dead parents or friends who initially created the specter then there's no way to dispel it.

The alternative to "You've got to learn your lesson by realizing how much you're the one who's always fucking yourself." is a message of love. The Fucking to Loving transmutation is the equivalent of changing base metals to gold. It is the holy grail of transformation.
