If DID is a real disorder, the stable personality/preference thing seems to be one of the factors that differentiates sufferers from neurotypical people.
Addicts have such a hard time checking themselves into rehab because behaviors aren't based on "preferences", they're based on expectation of reward. Rehab means no drug use for a long time (unpleasant), probable social status hit, and only later a non-addicted state (pleasant but heavily time-discounted).
If expectation of reward works across domains, how is that different than a goal?
If an addict can use their full intelligence in order to get the reward, then they can't just say "the part of me that wants heroin is too stupid to bargain with".
Yeah; I've already admitted I'm confused about that here
