A contract manager? Really? That's the most ridiculous answer I've ever seen. Clearly, the ultimate control lies with the self, unless we're talking about those reality TV shows where they lock people in a house.

The self, for sure. It's all about being able to regulate our own thoughts and behaviors. Although I guess the environment can make that a lot tougher sometimes.

I think the choice of the person is key here. It's not like we're automatons, we can choose to exercise self-control, right? Although sometimes the environment makes that really, really hard.

Self-control? Isn't that an oxymoron? The environment clearly has the ultimate control, like when I'm trying to resist that extra slice of cake in the fridge.
