Objectively, I'm super successful! I'm top 1% globally in income and creative output. I'm married to a top 1% woman. I have a rich social life in New York, home to an awesome 0.1% of the world's population. And yet, I'd feel like a total loser if I just stayed at this level.
Aside, birds are apparently a bad example because modern birds did not descend directly from flying dinosaurs but some other dinosaurs that evolviled wings again. Though it’s more like a do-over than truly distinct convergent evolution.

A better example might be inner ear bones, which developed from over-thick jawbones with spare bone (whole new meaning to slack-jawed). In a talk I did on fat thinking (my post on that is probably where I started down this road) I use that as the prime example.
