I have at least noticed a change in incentives in my own life, and yes, it makes a detectable difference in outcomes. I am certainly not about to become a serial killer, but there are many good things that I am less motivated to do than I used to be, and consequently, noticeably less likely to actually do.

I agree with Brillyant that his argument is basically obviously, and arguing against it is simply wishful thinking.
