one of the worst things rationality did to me (or, you could say, i did to myself using rationality, idk) was teach me to use the part of my mind i had developed to do homework to run my entire life

now i was very good at doing homework so this wasn’t a totally ridiculous thing to try, but it turned out i needed the coercive structure of school to provide the extrinsic motivation to make the whole machine work and without that fuel it mostly sputtered. hence “akrasia”

@QiaochuYuan this is also probably why I was never really a rat, I was always terrible about doing homework
