I honestly do not know how IQ and the ability to judge the future outcomes of ones actions tie together.
I do know that confessing to crimes, and then saying that he’ll try to commit those same offences upon release is not a very sensible idea if he values his freedom from prison. On the otherhand perhaps the guy thinks his being a martyr for the cause and his openness will encourage others, time will tell.
I see your point that if happiness is already here, then why must one train.
But I think the idea is that in order to appreciate the happiness you have already, it takes work. But that’s just my take.
