If being adaptable and flexible is the key to winning, why aren’t people changing?

We ask: “Why is change so hard for people to do? Change only mah? Just DO another thing only what. Plus it is possible that that another thing is equally as difficult or sometimes even easier, not like always asking you to change into a more difficult thing right?”
ANSWER: Because change is only advantageous if you can change AGAIN later (LIKE, for example, change back to your original plan!). The process of iterating your methods is purposed so that you can cover more of the feasible region to find a sufficiently efficient solution. If you are able only to accommodate one change in a long period there is equal chance you probably just go into a worse state where you wouldnt have been able to get out of, so you are as good as not having changed at all.
Simply changing is not the point. Changing is the means to the ‘point’. What is really the point is using your brain to evaluate the feasibility and payout at every iteration of change, because if you don’t do that critical thinking with your brain, change is as likely to get you nowhere as just staying put. It means, when you are making crucial changes to your daily life, your mind have to be better awake to capture notes about differences in results, people’s responses, any deprovement or improvements and why. If you didn’t force your brain to capture those data at the crucial timings, you might have taken the risks of change for nothing, or made yourself in worse situation yet stupidly thinking “oh i must be in a better place just because I did such a difficult change ya know!!! I should pat myself! heehee ^^”.
And people are aware of that! They are aware change is not guaranteeing of being better off! They are aware they are too lazy and too weak to use their brains other than for to fantasize of a better future served on a plate if only they continued their own current paths. That’s the answer to conclude why change is rare for people to do.
The other part is that, they actually can’t change and change and change again. We will cover two reasons:
First is that it takes brain to record different AB situations and their results and then compare their average. (It actually takes data and maths skills to do that properly— so non data equipped people will probably never achieve this)
The second is society and status. Society and status is based upon your commitment to whatever the fuck your chosesn community sees and approves you for. If you are someone who keeps changing and changing your values and behaviours, or someone who doesnt even commit to believing entirely what the coach in the class is saying, you will not be loved, you will not be the choice as a soulmate, as a mating partner. You will just float. And that is a painful thing to live with. Likely, 99% of the human population couldnt stand that and thus, well they couldnt iterate to become a sufficiently sustainable human being.
Some random nonsense:
When everyone is talking. Not talking makes you stand out and noticed.
When everyone is not talking. Talkin makes you outstanding and noticed.
In terms of surplus for the group, doing not what everyone else is doing lessens waste and increases efficiency in the other direction that has not yet been captured.
