Synopsis
Reinvention isn't just about starting something new; it's about the violence of ending who you used to be. In this guest session, we debug the "Sunk Cost Fallacy"—the glitch in our brain that keeps us clinging to a bad path just because we've already walked it for years.
System Updates (Key Takeaways)
- Identity Lag: Why your self-image takes years to catch up to your current reality.
- The "Beta" Mindset: Treating your life as a series of versions (v1.0, v2.0) rather than a static final product.
- Social Friction: Managing the error messages you get from friends and family when you change your interface.
The Uncomfortable Questions
- Who would I be if I forgot who I was supposed to be?
- What part of my identity is just "legacy code" that I am afraid to delete?
- Am I holding onto this career because it works, or because I invested a lot in it?
Reflection Protocol
