I'll be the meta-contrarian (http://lesswrong.com/lw/2pv/intellectual_hipsters_and_metacontrarianism/ http://lesswrong.com/lw/2pv/intellectual_hipsters_and_metaco...) and disagree. If you believe that it's important to deliberately suffer to build character, at least do something that provides some benefit like vigorous exercise, or even rejection therapy.
- jasonshen 15y agoGood point - if cold showers were the only thing you were doing to build self-discipline, that would be rather silly. I already work out almost everyday, put myself in uncomfortable social situations and other "character-building" activities. This is just one more thing I've added to the mix and that I'm sharing my thoughts on.
- influx 15y agoTalk about first world problems, it's almost embarrassing that you have to seek out discomfort and the only way to do it is to take a cold shower.
