And I think it makes sense because investing in the future, as I said before, often being cooperative is investing in the future. So it doesn't pay right now to do a lot of good things to other people, but you build goodwill and a good reputation, and that helps you being successful in the future. And I think that we would have the hedonic system helping us to take that into consideration.

And, you know, because it's far in the future, in a way, this feeling that we're doing something good is bringing the benefit from the future in the present. And so... I'm not saying that we are consciously calculating and think, oh, you know what, I'm going to help my neighbor today. I don't really care about my neighbor. But by doing that, when I will need my neighbor's help, I can ask.

No, we don't do that. We help our neighbor and we feel good about it. But what it does is that it also gives us goodwill. So when we need it, we can get it.

And so I think that lots of this feeling of goodwill, of meaning that we experience when we are doing good things is because it would have helped our ancestors to actually be good co-operators and to care about being nice with other people, contributing to the community, rising and standing as being perceived as an altruist and positive person, a trustworthy person.

So I think that's why we experience this kind of meanings. But if you don't have a sky hook, it all has to come from these feelings which are designed to help us being successful.

Yeah, exactly. And I think that's, you know, you see, for instance, a big topic now is the challenge faced by young boys in the modern world. Young boys, for evolutionary reasons, are maturing later than girls. And so they are not necessarily ready for the kind of demanding pushback of pleasure that school is requiring.

School is requiring to be systematic, to be not jumping around, listening to the teacher, doing your homework, et cetera, for years and years and years. And the rewards are very far in the future. And what happens is that we see now with... decreasing proportion of young men going to university, being successful, et cetera, because the world offered them all these quick reward accessible online,
