litmus test, if behaviors tend more towards exploration, poke-with-stick, it's hack. If towards exploitation, doubling down, it's hustle

There isn't one in most curiosity driven behaviors. That's why most of it is private and has no consequence outside of satisfying itself

FWIW wrt Hustle -- I am impartial as to source of motivation -- see dropbox.com/s/mzf2k19x1p6g

my point is, some drives will result in behaviors that are not hustle... hustle covers about 25% of motivated behavior space i'd guess

I think you may have lost me. My initial point was that "proof imperative" is often (always?) invisible to ourselves

I'm saying it isn't invisible; it actually doesn't exist as a major drive for many. It's a personality trait, not universal human drive

I think you have largely convinced me when stated like that.

rethinking a bit, I think the proof drive is universal actually - yet its priority & influence on behavior varies amongst individuals.

The proof imperative is as much internal as it is external -- but your point is taken in that some ppl it doesn't make a mark

It is related to the competitive "win" drive rooted in wanting to be alpha. For some the countervailing "exit" drive is far stronger
