Your existing emotional filters were never designed for the stimuli and for the consequences of this environment - changing your perception only makes them work better. It makes you into a more formidable person. A person with an easier life, yes, but only because your decisions are more grounded in reality, not less!



Yes, you will become dependent on the glasses, just as you would on the earring. They're probably eventually even going to cause changes to your brain structure as you stop worrying so much about whether people are lying to you, about whether you're making the best possible use of your time, etc.. But it's a lot, lot harder to see them as taking anything away from you. Certainly you can't just brush it off with a generic "things should not be that convenient" type of argument.



I do worry that the only way to figure out whether you should wear the glasses is to put them on and see how they look in a mirror...

 Yes, you will become dependent on the glasses, merely as you would on the earring. They're probably eventually even going to induce changes to your brain social organization as you stop worry so a lot about whether people are lying to you, about whether you're making the best potential use of your time, etc.. But it's a lot, lot harder to see them as taking anything away from you. Certainly you can't just brush it off with a generic " things should not be that convenient " type of argument.
