Yess! Only responsibly choosing a different behavior will do the job because we don’t have “benefits” data for this cost benefit analysis. We have an unknown for new behavior, so it requires courage and an understanding that the current pathological behavior is not working.

I've had frustrating internal power struggles all my life. The work has been integrating all sides. With reactive emotional responses, awareness & equanimity allow for responsibility, which is easier said than done. I do see that decisions are driven by cost benefit analysis.
For example, automatic emotional responses are usually based on some sort of pre-calculation for survival or replication. But when doing the work of consciously seeing the impact of that behavior vs. the reward of a new & rational one, then I can actually be free of its grip.

I think that's the human machinery. We're efficient learning machines who (1) figured our environment and (2) successful responses at those ages. What'd be the incentive to scrap them? It requires energy, conscious processing, trying something new, and an unknown result.
