Who is going to make the decision? The barriers you describe may be the effect of the collection of contradictions that we all carry crystallizing into something like two people. May line up with Freud’s visions ...the id may influence everything but decisions may be a choice between what the ego (in Freud’s term) but really what you call your ‘self,’ and the superego -- what other people think. The other Feynman told us not to “care about what other people think.” I don’t really understand Jekyll and Hyde but I would suggest the theme for one of you future posts. Much information and terrific double exposure at Wikipedia’s Jekyll and Hyde page.

Excellent point Dr. Feinman!
Well-said. Too many people confuse superego with conscience, when they are really two different things.
