This is usually unintentional, but nonetheless self-defeating. A few examples: * Amazon Fake Reviews: These are usually fantastic since they often point to a low-quality product. "In exchange for an honest and unbiased review, I received this product for free..." was an excellent sign that the product was total garbage.

If you found mastery effortless, you're rarely going to study that thing carefully and rigorously. Of course, the usual lesson is in being humble and curious about things and assuming that you do not understand them, thereby bypassing the idiocy of casual mastery and gaining true understanding of the underpinnings. But there is a flip side. It means that most such careful studies of things are by p...")

Lots of people would like to live life tech-free and just rely on things like willpower or memory to get the outcomes they desire.
