Re: Am I Being Too Hard On People With My Willpower Experiment

I agree. But then to rebut them I propose an experiment. I offer them money to entice them to do what they never do after merely saying they want to and will. And lo and behold they now do it! This has actually happened for moderate money.

I missed if you gave examples of this, but it seems like many of your associates will be poker players and other competitive gamblers. People who are often driven by competition, and who see this as another game they want to win.
Also I think this approach is more likely to work with men than women, as men seem to be naturally more competitively driven.
