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
