Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I just want "one thing" and be happy with it?
You are "Resisting the Urge to Simplify." Humans are pluralistic by nature. Trying to reduce yourself to "one want" is a Control Loop that ignores your actual complexity. Complex wanting is "high-density wanting." You can want a stable job and a wild adventure. Resisting the simplification allows you to build a life that actually fits your whole structure, rather than a "thin" version of yourself that will eventually feel empty.
How do I make choices if I have so many complex wants?
You look for the Overlap. Find the actions that satisfy the "core requirement" of multiple wants at once. This is "Structural Optimization." By acknowledging all your wants, you avoid the "Sabotage Loops" that happen when a simplified choice ignores a major part of your system. You aren't choosing between wants; you are choosing for the whole person.
