Asking what your set self-image would do will only yield 1 answer continuously and disallow further growth and change.

This post is about deliberately choosing your self-image, with the implication that it can and should change sometimes.

Notice that choosing between standing policies is actually different from separately choosing independent actions, and those two situations can lead to different choices.
