All we want to do is optimize. Maybe we should abandon the believe that what is optimized is always our Self. With our experience in optimizing, we could take on much greater tasks. First, let’s distinguish between a smaller self and a larger self, the larger self of course being the forgiving, giving, charity, altruistic one.
