Hamster's Brain Deletes Happiness After 15 Minutes

Описание: Hamster got the bigger cage. The nicer wheel with the silent bearings. The premium seeds. And somehow... nothing changed. If you think achieving your goals will finally make you happy, you are fighting millions of years of biology designed to keep you dissatisfied. In this episode of the Lab, we explain why "New Cage Smell" fades so fast and the exact protocol to actually enjoy your life.

THE EXPERIMENT: Subject: Hamster. Condition: Deluxe Condo Cage + 10,000 Instasham followers. Result: Euphoria for 14 minutes. Followed by immediate return to baseline. Conclusion: The wheel just got faster.

THE SCIENCE: We debunk the "Arrival Fallacy" using the neuroscience of Hedonic Adaptation. Your brain is a normalization machine that turns miracles into wallpaper to keep you hunting for the next upgrade.
