If you dissociate the mind from the reward circuitry, it enters a state of equanimity. The structure and direction of human minds is almost entirely shaped by an architecture to that dispenses reward signals.
I don't quite think so. I think that we learn to entrain our brain with functions that integrate expected reward over longer time spans, and make other behavior accountable to them. We are submitting even more! Impulsivity breaks the accountability.

Interesting. Spontaneity as the counter to regulated impulses? However might one assume that spontaneity has a sense of flow or mastery...aka unconscious/conscious integration that comes from patience, practice & deliberation?

I am not saying that freedom or submission, equanimity or passion are desirable or undesirable. I am just trying to describe the dynamics.
