This topic is strange and confusing, firstly due to a the term being offered as falsified, and then a false definition offered as debunked.
Willpower is very real, only the character given is false.
I never got the memo that it is some “finite resource some have and others don’t.” Is this some pointless perspective from the occult pseudoscience of psychology predating this trendy topic?
Willpower is very real, a greater strength in some than others, and it certainly can be developed (and undermined.) Why is the topic and definition inverted as provided? And why does the topic assume everyone sees it that way from the start?
The will is certainly a muscle of the mind which can be strengthened and “exhausted” sure, yet there is an interesting trick that those having superior determination of resolve my leverage. Meaning and intention in the mind can be canceled out, giving will a seemingly archimedean leverage.
Just as the mind may be tricked to give up its goods (coerced or exploited through “reverse psychology”) the mind may be stupefied to exploit adamantium resolve.
One can literally make themselves too stupid and stubborn to give in.
This in addition to how long one can “hold out” before exhausting what resolve one does have.
Hack the mind! It is your most precious instrument.
