If only there were more in this world with such critical thinking, maybe we wouldn't be in such a shit state.

It doesn't make sense. Critical thinking enables survival. Sometimes it's not fun. Sometimes it doesn't feel great.

But it's typically more rewarding that not. That's what I don't understand.

Unfortunately for us tribalism also enables survival

To get those rewards you typically have to endure some hardship or struggle first tho, and many people can’t tolerate that. They just want their creature comforts. It’s how you get hoarders drowning in their takeout buckets.

Given a choice, the brain will always take the laziest path. Which is why watching a screen and turning off your brain is so easy. The fact that it's also designed to give you a dopamine hit makes it hard to stop.
