¹⁵Thus, our computational definition of unsatisfactoriness does not exactly lead to reduction of reward expectations in the strict framework of the frustration equation, unlike the basic Buddhist interpretation given in the text. However, understanding the negative long-term effects may also reduce the expectation of immediate reward if the long-term effects are in some sense added to that expectation. Recognizing such unsatisfactoriness should ultimately reduce desires since that appears to be the only way of completely escaping this logic. With less desires, there would be less opportunity for any frustration to arise, while insatiability or evolutionary obsessions become irrelevant. Reducing desires will be considered in detail later in this chapter.
