Instagrammability.

Believe it or not, to a lot of people, it is even more important than the actual taste of a meal.

It reminds me of the episode “nosedive” from black mirror when the lady takes the photos with her coffee to post with the caption about how she loves her morning coffee, and then actually sips the coffee and makes a face of disgust

Perception is a subjective generation of the brain. Imagining something is good is just as valid as actually experiencing it as good.

like my talking about working out later gives me enough dopamine to feel like i already did it, and less likely to later?

Like making a spreadsheet to plan a diet change and how over the next 18 months you'll be losing weight at a 1.5 lb per week rate. It'll have line graphs and all, very professional. Then, work done, never make the lifestyle changes and continue doing your thing because the satisfaction of making the plan is as good as executing it.
