      this is a much funnier version of something i might have said about trying to embed terminal goals such that they survive optimization for achievement of instrumental goals and whether that's a betrayal of your future selfhttps://twitter.com/browserdotsys/status/1174078659830960128 …

      basically, trying to lock in your terminal goals so your future self can't betray them is a straight-up announcement that you know your current goals are so dumb and childish that a version of yourself that isn't so helpless couldn't possibly care about them on their own merits

          Not buying a box of doughnuts to constrain my future self may say something about my willpower or trust in my ability to make good decisions. But present-me's goal "don't eat a box of doughnuts" probably isn't more childish or dumb than future-me's "eat lots of tasty doughnuts".

          When Faramir says "Not if I saw it on the highway would I take it", is he discounting the presumed greater knowledge of future-Faramir of whether to use the Ring, or anticipating that circumstances & desperation (and in that case supernatural temptation) might erode his judgment?

          future-me might also be worse than present-me, at least for temporary periods indeed, my most successful life strategy is to use the times when I can do things to hedge against the inevitable times I can't

          One reason feudalism is a good idea is because it hands out power essentially for free. Certainly many abuse it...but the alternative is that -everyone- abuses it.https://twitter.com/chaosprime/status/1173945608559824897 …

          Also possibly the realization that accumulation of power can activate negative attributes that could not be as easily or effectively activated previously. A call to grounding, or to figure out what grounding looks like when combined with capability.

          If you can mature out of them, they weren't your terminal goals. Evolution is not your friend. It's pathetic if you think it is.

          "If you can mature out of them, they weren't your terminal goals" is exactly your adversarial future self's (most basic) argument. It means insofar as they will determinately exist - ie. relevantly distinct from you existing now - it forecloses your access to terminality
