Identity is Bayesian

Humans are habitual creatures

We need to be what we want to be

That’s the only way.

Be what you want to be all the time

Then you will be what you want to be.

So to be great

You have to do things greats do.

To be creative you have to create.

You are what you do.

If you have the habit to just do prep

And not to do it

You will be a prep monkey


Identity follows action.

Emotions follow identity.

To be X you have to do what X people do

And then you will feel like X too

So don’t prep to be X.

Be X by acting like X.

Feeling is earned after the pattern of doing, not before.

World and mind works in Bayesian terms

To be something you have to change the prior enough

The prior in this context means your current self

Its s war of attrition

Every repetition of preparation without actually doing the deed deepens the wrong identity.

You become someone who studies, not someone who executes.

The mind optimizes for comfort, not growth.

Every act is a vote for the person you want to become.

Be conscious of every act

Identity change is not a revolution.

It’s a siege.

You don’t win in a single day.

You bleed the old identity out over time.

You chip away with consistent, contradictory evidence-action by action

Until your mind has to admit you are this new thing.

ldentity Change is thus just Bayesian Warfare

Obliterate the prior.
