Object-oriented programming bundles data with behavior, similar to how the ego holds onto beliefs and reacts defensively.
Functional programming, on the other hand, focuses on pure functions and statelessness, allowing for adaptability and reduced cognitive overhead.
By refactoring your mental architecture to think functionally, you can process situations more effectively by analyzing gaps and creating learning plans rather than relying on fixed beliefs.
Recognizing your ego as a fallback function for handling complexity can help you choose when to rely on it and when to compute fresh responses based on the current situation.
