Yeah, so if you don't know who your future self is in any degree or if you're absolutely not connected to your future self at all, like the extreme end of that, and like you can see this, the extreme end of being disconnected to your future self is someone who has zero perspective of consequences.
And like they're like almost so, they're so out of touch.
Like, and I've seen this even with my kids where it's like,
they're acting so poorly, like right before bed, sometimes as a family, like if they do certain things like our night routine really well, sometimes we'll like watch like half a movie or something like that before bed.
And like, we will tell them sometimes, like if you go through these, if you do the routine really well,
we'll like have ice cream and watch a movie like, you know, for like 40 minutes if they're not connected to that future self even 45 minutes into the future.
Like, they will do absolute terrible things
that then lead us to saying, nope, can't do it.
And then they throw a fit.
They're like, they can't even believe that they lost what they did, but they were so disconnected to what they were doing and the consequences.
And like, this is what happens for extreme addicts where like you do something and you're so disconnected from the consequences that you're shocked when you, when all of a sudden like,
everything's falling apart.
And so like one degree of looking at this is like, if you are so disconnected from your behavior and reality being consequences, which is what my kids were like, they're
acting so opposite to the results that they want or think that they want, but they don't even know it.
It's like, are you aware that what you're doing right now is literally sabotaging you in 10 minutes from now and you're about to throw a fit and they don't see it?
Like that is utter blindness.
But the other angle, which is kind of more the direction you were going was, it's kind of like the Alice in Wonderland thing where, you know, Alice meets the cat and the cat says,
you know, Alice says, which way should I go?
Because there's two different paths.
And the cat says, well, that depends on where you want to go.
