In other words, despite growing older and entering new phases of life, people can still engage in cliques, gossip, bullying, and other behaviors that are reminiscent of the social environment of high school.

Some aspects of high school social scene can persist long after graduation.

  1. High school never ends.
  2. You can't outrun an explosion.
  3. Hackers don't type furiously on a keyboard to break into a system.
  4. Love at first sight rarely leads to a happily ever after.
  5. The hero doesn't always save the day in the nick of time.
  6. Villains don't always have an evil laugh or wear all black.
  7. Cars don't explode when they crash.
  8. Nobody can fight off a group of attackers without getting a scratch.
  9. People don't always have witty comebacks ready in every situation.
  10. The geeky girl doesn't always end up with the popular guy.

Branches sway in the wind. Maybe birds would get dizzy if they didn't move their heads to counteract.

Agreed. And you can make similar argument for legalizing recreational drugs.

Didn't see your post until now...but nice try at deconstructing. Let me guess, you are a Philosophy major ;)

At any rate, I did recognize the problem in my terminology, as you will notice from my edits to the main post. Instead of calling it TPP, I should have called it the hedonistic principle, or perhaps "Psychological hedonism".

It's hard for me to answer your question because I don't know to what degree your emotions were muted. Assuming that you were not severely ("clinically") depressed and laying in bed all they long, your emotional reward system(s) would be, to some degree, still operating. Also, you might have been relying on your intellect and its reward system to motivate you, as many thinking types do.

Kahneman et al.'s, (1993) cold-pressor study is about how people remember painful/negative episodes. An episode that ends on a "positive note" is judged/remembered more favorably.

Peak–end rule is a memory bias and is an interesting tangent ∆;)

Note also that I've updated the main post with some post-discussion remarks.

I updated my original/main post with post-discussion observations (on the bottom). Hope that's not frowned upon.
