Your comment comes off as needlessly combative.
It is definitely a memory / attention thing. I don't see how I made any suggestion that "society needs to optimize" for me.
My point is that you need to asses the full lifecycle costs of any alternative given individual differences.
- unethical_ban 5y agoI think the other person heard you saying "bottled water has a good purpose" and they replied "It's bad enough of a problem that we shouldn't suggest its continued use because you can't remember to care about your bottle". This is just how I'm reading the conversation. As others have said, maybe if you spent $15 on a purpose-built, non-BPA, reliable water bottle, you would use it less because your mind wouldn't perceive it to be disposable.

You have the causality exactly backwards. It is the frequency with which I have lost expensive water bottles that caused me to stop using them in most situations. I don't understand why people only replied to try and tell me how my brain works rather that to engage with the core idea of comment.
