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

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

Maslow hierarchy is a good way to map it. You can conceptually dump certainty near the top and middle that way. The lower you get, the more reality is OS level and requires physical dusk reformatting to dump.

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.
