@pluralistic "Whenever you take a measure during a moment of strength that guards against your own future self's weakness, you enter into a Ulysses Pact – think throwing away the Oreos when you start your diet."

This reminded me of a construct some initiative came up for houses here in Germany: Mietshäuser Syndikat ("apartment-house syndicate"). It prevents the privatization of a house. You manage your house but the syndicate can veto selling it.
