way i would say it: if you can hedonic treadmill on something then it wasn’t satisfying any of your actual needs. we get very confused in america by not distinguishing, at all, between happiness and *excitement*. excitement is the stuff that fades quickly on repetition

I haven't gathered my thoughts on this fully yet but there's something deeply disturbing to me how emotions are manipulated daily. Music and perfumes and advertising displayed everywhere. It feels like I'm being told a really shitty processed story that spoofs emotions
