Thesis: there’s a condition/trauma that arises from having spent a lot of time in an environment where there’s excess resources for no reasons, which can lead to several outcomes:
Inertial drifting in the direction implied by ones’ prior adaptations,
Conformity/adaptation to social popularity contests based on the urges above,
Getting lost in meta-level preparations,
Acting as a stickler for the authorities,
“Bite the hand that feeds you”,
Tracking the resource/motivation flows present.
By contrast, if resources are contingent on a particular reason, everything takes shape according to said reason, and so one cannot make a general characterization of the outcomes.

It’s not clear to me how this results from “excess resources for no reasons”. I guess the “for no reasons” part is crucial here?
