RE: Do We Really LEARN from our Experiences?
You ask really interesting questions that make my brain hurt.
My take is that if something almost kills us or really hurt we learn and try not to repeat but if there is pleasure, status and gratification involved it does not work so well. Like getting drunk and having a hangover he next day. Why would you drink ever again?
Thank you for the compliment (I think!)... it has always been my ambition to make people think, even if it gets uncomfortable.
I am sure individual personalities and states of personal development enters into this, as well. Some are quick studies, some are not. For example, I tried smoking... ONCE... it was unpleasant, so I didn't do it again. But that can be wrapped in the "currency" that "being cool" held no particular value for me... not so much for other people.
