Comment by Rahul Ranjan (rahul-ranjan) on Ayn Rand’s model of “living money”; and an upside of burnout · 2024-11-16T23:14:26.712Z · LW · GW

Loved your model of willpower.

How you stretched this idea into what drives us in the first place is brilliant, we tend to value a certain possibility or ideal state and we think a particular tending of a specific process might get to it. But we tend to switch from open process with changing unknown variables to close static process which risks collapse. I think that's core idea right.

Also, I have interest in the idea of how important unknownkness is in relationships especially romance. Where did you get this idea specifically ?
