Most things are irrelevant once you've specified a pathway. That also controls anxiety, right? There's lots of things you don't have to look at when you're going that way. Definitely. Things that help you, things that get in your way. That works socially, right? Friends and foes. So pathways, tools, obstacles, friends, foes, and then agents of magical transformation.

And agents of magical transformation change your aim. Right, and that's the role they play in fiction. For example, wizards and magical beings change the game. And that's the world. Really, that's how you see the world. That's how your vision works. That's how you hear things. That's how the world presents itself to you. So no goal, no doorways. No goal, no pathway, right? Yeah.

It's very hard to deal with a partner that lies.

It's very hard to deal with a partner that lies.

It's very hard to deal with a partner that lies.

Yeah, yeah. That's... Now, if they're lying and that's improving... I don't know. Well, look, people don't start out 100% trustworthy, you know. The more lies there are, the harder it is by a lot. But you can see a trajectory of improvement. That's really important. Can the person negotiate? Do they negotiate in good faith? And do they implement the consequences of the negotiation?

Yeah, yeah. That's... Now, if they're lying and that's improving... I don't know. Well, look, people don't start out 100% trustworthy, you know. The more lies there are, the harder it is by a lot.

You can take a relationship that's got quite a number of kinks in it and straighten it out across time if people will commit to the process and tell you the truth. If it's a downhill slope continually, no improvement whatsoever, then... then you're playing a game that you probably can't win.

It also makes you question your own sanity. That's, yes. You know, if you're with someone who... insists that the way you see things when you're trying to see them as accurately as you can is a delusion or faulty. It's insanity making.
