(2021-10-24) Chapin Inner Warfare, Or It's Ishita Aroras World And I'm Just Living In It

Sasha Chapin: Inner Warfare, or, It's Ishita Arora's World and I'm Just Living in It. There is just something obstinate in me that says, no, do not do the right thing.

In theory, it would be better if I were perfectly self-motivated. However, I think of myself as a somewhat overtaxed car with many miles on it. Some parts are falling off, and require immediate replacement. However, some other faults are deep—strangely-shaped marks on the chassis—and though they produce strange vibrations, they must simply be accommodated

I can either gaze appalled at myself, or I can just compassionately accept that my machinery is not completely aligned, and create the highly artificial arrangements that will get me to do things anyway. You can debug yourself and/or you can learn to live with bugs, and neither solution is correct in all cases. (Good Enough)
