This is about Alpha Zero.

But I think it is basically how human impulse control works. If a person chronically makes "bad" short-term-oriented choices, it may very well be because they _correctly_ don't depend on themselves to be able to execute on a long term strategy.
It's a lot less attractive to be "disciplined" and "responsible" and "prudent" if you're going to fuck it up somehow before you get the payoff.

You might as well seize some pleasure now, even if it is "self destructive" or reckless.
If you're likely to fail anyway, there's less use in focusing on your studies. Might as well party.

If you're going to misinvest your savings, or break open the piggy bank to buy some random thing down the line, you might as well spend the money now.
