I don’t understand what you are getting at. You are either saying that you can predict where a fly is going to go when you set it free or you are saying that a fly has internal agency.

That said, we contain the ability to observe and react to our surroundings which causes a large and complex web of interactions that aren't trivial to map or anticipate.

That unpredictablity is what we ultimately define as freedom.

How does higher uncertainty of my choices achieving what I strive for raise the perception of freedom of said choice?

That’s what I did. Loved all of Elden Ring, it is at the top of my all time favorite games. Did not have the fun with and didn’t want to pour more time into Radahn and said fuck it. It felt bad at first but I’m sure the time and frustration I spared myself is well worth it.

Daycare is probably not the only scenario in which this happens but I wonder if at least some of those cases could be prevented if the daycare reached out when an expected drop off didn’t happen.

It’s been years since I’ve used their service but back then they were notorious for tricking users into signing up for their premium service with dark patterns and making it very hard to cancel. Which is why I left them and have dissuaded anyone from ever using their services.

If you’re in the EU this would probably fall under the 2 year guarantee required by law.

On iOS you can set a bedtime with a flexible wind down reminder. I’m reminded an hour before bedtime that wind down is starting and I’ll know that if I want a good nights sleep I should start my evening routine. Which includes brushing teeth and stuff.

It doesn’t always work but most of the time I’m in bed at least close to schedule.

Helped me tremendously since activating it a few years ago.

Edit: Just read OPs comment, making up for lost sleep later, like on the weekend, doesn’t work afaik.

Yeh, it was totally justified.

It’s more a case of me assuming that it’s obvious that it’s a stereotype. You might say I dropped an /s which in this case has a different meaning.
