Description
You think you are the sculpture, but you are still the clay. We treat our present preferences as absolute truths, forgetting that we are constant works in progress. Ask anyone if they have changed significantly in the last ten years, and they will say "yes, absolutely." Ask them if they expect to change significantly in the next ten years, and they will likely shrug and say "probably not much."This is the "End of History Illusion." We walk around with the unshakable conviction that the person we are right now is the finished product-the final, optimized version of our character. This illusion is the root of our worst decisions. We sign thirty-year mortgages, get tattoos, and choose careers based on the preferences of a person who will cease to exist in a decade."The Finished Product Fallacy" combines behavioral psychology and philosophy to dismantle the myth of the static self. It teaches you how to make decisions for a stranger: your future self. Learn to build flexibility into your life, avoid the trap of over-committing to a rigid identity, and embrace the terrifying but liberating truth that you are not done cooking yet.
