Me saying that I heard your takes many times but never seen it anywhere should have tipped you off that I disagree.

Not sure what your response contributes to any discussion though. You did not try to defend or enrich your position.

Assuming you were responding to my statement "It seems we are programmed to feel mildly dissatisfied no matter what our circumstances." I can't see how that squares with the paper I talked about. Of course you can raise your anecdotes but that proves nothing.

What you said are also anecdotes which also prove nothing.

The hedonistic treadmill does not exist.

It's a feel-good construct, I found.

>What you said are also anecdotes which also prove nothing.

No, it was an actual paper (unfortunately I can't find it now).

>The hedonistic treadmill does not exist.

I never referred to that in my original answer, although it is related it seems straw man like in this context.
