Ainslie advances our understanding of self-control by theoretically unifying multiple forms of willpower. But one crucial question remains unanswered: How do agents pick the right forms of willpower in each situation? I argue that willpower requires tactical skill, which detects willpower-demanding contexts, selects context-appropriate tactics, and monitors their implementation. Research on tactical skill will significantly advance our understanding of willpower.
安斯利通过从理论上统一多种形式的意志力来推进我们对自我控制的理解。但有一个关键问题仍未得到解答：代理人如何在每种情况下选择正确的意志力形式？我认为意志力需要战术技能，它可以检测需要意志力的情境，选择适合情境的策略，并监控其实施。关于战术技能的研究将极大地推进我们对意志力的理解。
