Some additional thoughts:
I was just reading the past essay "AI and Effective Sagacity" from
Mitch Howe in this list(http://www.sl4.org/archive/0108/2039.html).
Two quotes:
<quote>
The poor endurance of Sage, and its desire to rest at an optimum
lower-stress activity level also sheds light on many kinds of
procrastination, since the thing you put off doing is often some special
case that requires a higher Sage activity level.
</quote>
<quote>
Therefore, even the most
high-IQ human may never produce anything new or useful to society if she is
unable or unwilling to regularly put her lanky-but-lazy Sage through its
paces. The low-IQ underdog may climb to the top of his field because his
awkward-but-fit Sage is continually running marathons.
</quote>
In this sense, overcoming your procrastination is in itself a form of
intelligence augmentation or amplification.
Roland Anderson.
