- it vibes hard with Psycho-Cybernetics
- it's not so much that you learn from your mistakes, but you learn from what works. it's just that in order to do so, you need to subject yourself to real tries, at your edge
- there's also some interesting stuff about self-image...
- Phil starts out with a self-image that's out of sync with others, where he thinks he's great and they think he's self-absorbed
- and then he kind of realizes, sort of, but not in a super devastating way exactly, that he's not actually living up to his own sort-of-self-image
- and then the ways that he does develop involve to some degree reconceiving of how he'd like to be and seeking out experiences that'll allow him to embody it
- the fact that at the end he says "let's live here [in pux]" slightly surprised me, but of course -- that's where he now has all this social capital, but also in the sense that like, it's there that people's image of him is of a nice guy. like it would be much harder to continue being that guy somewhere else
