Agreed! (Not sure why you say we don't agree on that much.)

So you want to satisfy your joyful frame or however you want to put it, like eating yummy pie and whatnot. That's fine, but notice how you can appreciate the value of that now, while writing this LessWrong comment. So what's the problem with letting current-you call the shots? You don't seem to be in danger of undervaluing joy.

The degree to which I seem to value joy (judging from my behavior) varies a lot, depending on what else is going on. The degree to which I am doing so now, while writing this LessWrong comment, doesn't seem to be the peak of that curve.
