I think part of it is evolutionary , right ? So the human brain is a phenomenal problem solving instrument , but it's also just as much of a troublemaker , right ? So the human brain is designed to keep us alive , not necessarily to keep us happy .

So the human brain is designed to keep us alive , not necessarily to keep us happy . Although if we stay alive , the chance of being happy , at least in these bodies are , is a lot better , right ?
It kind of becomes compounded very quickly . Um But it starts with a brain that's set up to solve problems and to find problems to solve . If you can't find them , it will create them in order to solve the problems .
