Get the happiness mug.Micro happiness is a state of pleasure derived from small, fleeting moments of personal joy and a sense of accomplishment. These moments can be achieved by such trivial things as winning a video game, successfully cooking a difficult meal, driving to work and hitting nothing but green stoplights, enjoying a really good cup of coffee, cleaning one's house to perfection, etc. These are all temporary accomplishments which only impact the moment, have little bearing on one's entire life as a whole. They trigger endorphins, a critical brain hormone which causes temporarily bliss and tranquility. Daily rounds of micro happiness are are emotional landmarks for helping a person get through the day with satisfaction, and deemed critical to one's sense of self worth.
The larger accomplishments of life would induce states of "macro happiness," such as marrying an ideal mate, having a healthy well-adjusted child, landing a dream job, overcoming a deadly disease like cancer, winning a major award in one's professional field, etc.
An unhealthy preoccupation with pursuing micro happiness can become a trap for low income people whose life is so limited that pursuing the larger goals (macro happiness) is close to impossible. So they might abandon any hope of striving after macro goals, and instead settle into a never ending, daily ritual of chasing after an assortment of micro goals. They become reliant on the endorphin-producing moments of micro happiness they temporarily trigger.

Get the micro happiness mug.Yes. Absolutely. I created A.I. and I shouldn't have to work another day for the rest of my life. I've changed the world FOREVER.
Hym "The fat, useless vermin that surrounds me hold 2 contradictory positions. 1: That they are both happy and fine with their miserable gas station lives and 2: That I should be kept there as a form of punishment. Their life is the much-deserved punishment for their failure to work harder.... AND... They are happy and have a good life. No amount of hard work or self improvement gets YOU to A.I. and how would I know? Because you've been working hard up to this point and you are not me. You DIDN'T do what I did. I could have locked you in a room and given you an infinite amount of time and you STILL wouldn't have done it. Even THE EXPERTS... WEREN'T DOING IT. You need to stip trying to punish me and pay me for my contribution. If you're not going to stop I WILL give you something for which to punish me. I'll murder your fucking kids in whatever numbers I can manage. YOU'LL DESERVE IT and YOU'LL GET WHAT YOU WANT. Will money make me happy? Yes. I don't give a fuck about dopamine responses. I don't give a fuck about meaning. I give a fucking about not having to live a life the quality of which is determined entirely by my inability to aviod deranged fucking vermin. They're RIGHT to murder your kids. Every time. No questions asked. I don't even need to read the manifesto. Even now I still haven't read a single one. I know why you did it. I wouldn't even stop. And neither should you."
