 Why we’re programmed to enjoy work (and reject gold)

Why does work feel rewarding? Why are we chemically reinforced, through dopamine, to stay productive, compliant, and willing to “let things go”? And why does real value seem to threaten the system while wealth itself is something we’re taught to reject?

Starting with a working dog bred to love her task, this video explores how dopamine shapes behavior in both animals and humans. From labor and consumption to forgiveness and spiritual obedience, we examine how reward systems may be used to guide productivity, discourage resistance, and quietly transfer wealth through overproduction and overconsumption.

This is a philosophical decoding of work, value, and money... touching on the difference between price and value, the symbolism of gold, and why saving real value has always been discouraged... an inquiry into when our effort serves life and when it feeds the system.
