      i'm sure people make ego depletion / executive function budget / etc etc into an endless series of excuses and other straw men but nonetheless years before i heard of any of these concepts i was having a conversation with a couple of coworkers who were moving

      about how their ability to make decisions was acting like a muscle that got exhausted, and once they'd decided a hundred things in one day as part of moving they then couldn't decide whether or not to hit McDonalds

      this doesn't demonstrate anything about any particular underlying phenomenon but if you're just gonna be like, "no nothing like that is real because i am a big strong man who can make myself do whatever i want", sorry, my anecdote > your ego defense

          i remember reading a study once that observed that people were less capable of resisting having a slice a cake after they finished a series of complex calculus, suggested there was indeed a limited, shared pool of resources for these things

          iirc that's what the ego depletion studies were trying to show – but they haven't done too well in the replication crisis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ego_depletion#Reproducibility_controversy_and_conflicting_meta_analyses … it's something that feels like it should be intuitively true, though, so maybe we just haven't figured out how to measure it well

          The difference between "ego depletion" and "decision-making is like a muscle" is that in the latter case, practice lets you get better. In the former, the emphasis is on how decision energy is bounded no matter what you do. I've read that the Greeks believed it was like a muscle.

          This guy gets it. Part of the "training" is developing techniques to help you bound your own behaviors.https://twitter.com/s_pitchfork/status/1169291123573043200 …

          I think part of the disconnect is that if willpower is like a muscle, that means it can get very strong when you train it. People with strong willpower look at people who can't resist even the slightest bad habits and think they're weak, not realizing their own training.
