bound may be too strict, plasticity allows for reshaping your emotions, senses, how you process them

I suppose that falls under "Part of being a good person is to recognize these deterministic effects and plan your life accordingly."

The type of "reshaping" you're referring to would go beyond willpower in a single moment. Probably something like cognitive behavioral therapy?

Yeah CBT is in that box and it's indeed not a oneshot effort more like a year-scale (if not decade) process. The ideas aren't that complex, but like music .. it's subtle and requires life experience.
