In the modern era, our perceptual rewards are heavily influenced by the abundance of information from people online and in-person. We live in a world of propaganda, hypnotic suggestions, and click-baits.

But why would we want these rewards? Well, it is possible that we recieve a dopamine rush from having these rewards. For example, it can be exciting to watch the latest popular-movie and then share the experience with friends. Or, it might be a nice feeling to own an NFT of Elon Musk’s first tweet.

Is it even in our best interest to understand our true motivations? Concealing our true motivations could be an instinctual social defense mechanism. But I think its worth knowing some ways how our perceptual rewards are influenced and why the influence might negatively affect us.

For example, everyone is virtually an influencer these days. However, as you virtually connect with more and more people, it can become more difficult to judge the quality of character of the individuals in your group, and, so, you are influenced by the “average” of the group, for better or for worse.
