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’re approaching the pricing wrong. The answer is always all the money you have. The main thing you buy with money is term falsification insurance. If “reality is that which doesn’t go away when you stop believing in it”, money is that which enables you to escape for a while.

In a way. It reveals that you think of reality as a product you buy and sell as a totality. True of a few key pieces of it, like say an organized religion for hedgehogs. But mostly it’s an a la carte unbundled subscription to many ‘truths’ which must be repeatedly confirmed.

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.
