Okay so the question is why don't why do People pursue rewards that don't produce this resonance?
They don't have a value Hierarchy so pleasure island
It's a Good Example
Those Kids That were brought there were lost
So they Didn't They didn't have anywhere to go they didn't have an identity.
So they Default to local pleasure and
That's Better Than none Although The problem with local pleasure Well as the narrative made Clear is That
you Better Look Out IF you're impulsive Because it'S gonna Kick back on you hard, and the reason Is
you're only considering The immediate time frame and the problem is is that Things
propagate across all The Timeframes and so Just Because something Works Really well This second cocaine for Example
Doesn't Mean That it'S a Tenable Solution to the class of all problems
so what Usually often People pursue
Local Pleasure Because That's the best they can imagine it's the best They've Been taught They don't see another
Alternative so it can Be ignorant it can Be They don't want. To adopt the responsibility because part of the problem with
Working At Every Level of The Hierarchy
Simultaneously is that it's it's
Well It's like dancing to a very complex waltz Let's Say You have to be?
Paying Attention to a very large Number of Things Simultaneously and Doing Things Right It Requires responsibility and
so you know That's
It's a pain
It's a weight Part of The reason People Drink Alcohol is to get rid of Their
Responsibility, I Mean That's you know you Hear People Drink Because They have problems it's like yeah yeah, no.
Some people Drink Because They're anxious and
Alcohol Extreme Because They're in Withdrawal
But Young People Drink Because They're sick and tired of Being
Responsible Because it's annoying it's like so i'll drink enough i won't care about the medium to long term
Consequences Because Alcohol That's Exactly What Alcohol Does It Doesn't Make you
Ignorant of The medium to long term
Consequences but It Makes you not care about them and
Partly It's Because It Dampens Anxiety so it Dampens Anxiety Leaves Your positive emotion Circuits Intact
So then You can Go out there and do Stupid fun things and
That's Like--That's a Party Really Let's Go do Stupid fun Things That's a Party
But
The medium to learn Long-term Consequences are
It's risky
It doesn't Mean You Shouldn't do It but it's risky so yeah They don't know Better
That's the Answer i would Say
so
