  > Are you a programmer? No. It is binary thinking because there’s 2 choices: take action or don’t. If you don’t take action then it’s just wishful thinking of how you’re imagining how you’d like your life to be. Which again, is a totally fine way to live! But it is different from saying that the imaginary life actually matters to you. My point throughout these comments is that we can easily see how much someone values something (relative to other values) through their actions. Do you believe this to be false? > there's more to a choice than "physically possible" and "physically impossible". Do your best to articulate the “more” in such a way that it isn’t just a subset of one of the other two states. You will end up sounding like Kramer on Seinfeld, “Bets off. I don’t want to do the levels.” Jerry replies, “The bet was whether you’d do the levels not whether you wanted to do them.”
