Well said, I think this is spot on. There's no ancestral circuit in our brains urging us to pay our taxes or mow our lawn, it's just a thing we do.

Agreed. How many garden experiments against depression will it take before we all realize what we're doing is fucking idiotic?

I don’t know, most people are proud of getting a degree, right? I got a degree in my passion (and was still passionate about it at graduation), but haven’t ever felt pride in it. I’m currently in a difficult masters program and felt no pride about getting in. Maybe those are just also paperwork “accomplishments” for others, though.

Edit: I have felt positive about getting new jobs, but I think it was happiness, not pride. I’m proud when I beat someone at a game in a good way or am unexpectedly prepared for a situation, but I think that might be it.

Yeah, people above are assuming a lot. I feel you, man. It's the same here.
