“The “solution,” so it seems to me, is to simply put yourself to the test every once in a while in order to avoid habituation. The real enemy here is complacency—you needn’t feel guilty engaging with supernormal stimuli, but you should feel guilty if you never push yourself, or allow yourself to become a victim of your habits, instead of the person in the driver’s seat. C.S. Lewis has some insightful thoughts on this: Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is. After all, you find out the strength of the German army by fighting it, not by giving in. You find out the strength of the wind by trying to walk against it, not by lying down. A man who gives into temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later.” • #схватил_за_мозг - × × ×
