    See, this here is the problem. As long as our minds are this self-centered and operate in a paradigm of bargaining with existence in order to get what 'I' want or to avoid what 'I' don't, no amount of Stoicism or Buddhism or anything will make the slightest difference.https://twitter.com/wminshew/status/973329220339421186 …

    Okay is it fair to say there are two primary modes of action: 1/ away from pain or 2/ toward joy? and building on that, do you believe it is possible to operate almost exclusively in the latter category?

        I'm afraid you've lost me at this point; I don't see how this relates to my question within our previous dialogue

        You claimed "Humans generally won't solve a problem until not solving it is more painful than solving it." but this seems wrong to me. Every day I observe people act in ways which I don't believe to be pain-driven, 'generally' speaking

        It depends on the level of maturity of the individual. Most people are children so they operate in a pain/pleasure paradigm. Mature people do the right thing regardless of pain/pleasure or personal consequences, because it is the right thing to do.

        I think humans don't know what we want because we've been taught to ignore our wants, and do what we're told to do. I think if we really did what we wanted, we'd be BOTH self- and universe-centered. The universe guides us, but we can ignore that inner voice.

        So instead of bargaining, we should just act on principles and accept whatever the outcome is whether pain or pleasure?
