You can choose between playing evolutionary biology games and hacking your reward function. Hacking your reward function is easy, so many paths towards achieving that (drugs,hobbies,self-hypnosis,spirituality, philosophy, meditation…) winning at the evolutionary biology games isn’t hence why most people drift between trying to win and consoling themselves with a quick hack when they lose. You don’t have to be Floyd Mayweather on one side or a monk on the other, anything in between you’re happy with is fine, as long as you know both paths are open to you.
