> instinct to take the path of least resistance.

It’s least resistance initially, but much harder in the long run.

It’s like the children with marshmallows experiment.

Give a kid a marshmallow and tell them if they don’t eat it for 20min, they’ll get 2 more.

Some kids will eat it right away and some will wait.

We’re just seeing that play out for adults.
