The Trophy Expansion Project
Look! Squirrel! #5
We often assume dissatisfaction means we haven't achieved enough yet. The mind interprets emptiness as a sizing problem: bigger goals, bigger wins, bigger recognition. But fulfillment and achievement are not the same thing.
The mind loves treating existential questions like engineering problems. Squirrel responds to a human longing by commissioning charts, projections, and strategic trophy growth plans.
Question: What am I hoping achievement will give me that it has never actually given before?
