You may think you want to control 100% of your life. But stop and think of whether you want to control 100% of the stories you read or the movies you watch.
If you controlled 100% of any story/movie, you'll take away the surprising dopamine. The surprising alliances. The surprising identities. The surprising choices. The surprising turn of the tables. The surprising plot twists.There is an inner war between the desire for control and the desire for surprising dopamine. They come from 2 different parts of you, each with their own motivations.
Movie critics slam "bad movies" for being "predictable". If that is the case, do we really expect the quality of our non-fictional life movie to be "two thumbs up" if it's nothing but "predictable" and completely in our control?
