I'm not entirely convinced that the superego is the enemy of curiosity. Some degree of self-restraint probably makes sustained curiosity possible in the first place

Give oneself an out (take out precise policies against the risk of indulging any curiosity that worry you)

Labelling such a heuristic "self-restraint" reveals more about the "superego" than about "humanity"
