So...this is a method to develop iron self-discipline, which requires nothing to start save for iron self-discipline.
- GavinMcG 3y agoNo, the point is that the self discipline needed to hold one’s breath is lower than the self discipline needed to take one specific values-aligned action. And that, in turn, is lower than the self discipline needed to simply not do the thing that isn’t values-aligned, without a method. Of course doing anything requires some degree of self discipline, if you want to call it that. But not all actions need iron-clad discipline.
