It’s actually amazing how much effort people will put into refusing to listen. Seems like our precious models of reality are *priceless* to us even when they’re actually worth idk like 20 bucks tops

You buy a sandwich and eat it, you confirm the ‘reality’ that you are immortal for another 6 hours. Price: $5. We rarely skip eating so long that our de facto belief in our own immortality is falsified. Even fasting doesn’t get there.

You have to starve for like a week or so before the immortality belief is threatened and the reality of the proposition “must eat to continue living” becomes viscerally true for you.

I was thinking of it kind of like, if someone gave me $100k I would volunteer to decide (if this could be semi-enforced somehow) to lose all certainty in any of my beliefs and have to to rework from scratch. Actually... $50k But yea I know it gets icky in the details

And actually yeah $1m++ is correct for you within the parlour game I’m making up, just extrapolating from me + years of experience
