Why is the rate and direction of change more important than absolute
levels for happiness? And how does this relate to material acquisition? -

Ex: Mice have "genetically coded hypothesis" that automatically says "if I
feel sick it must be something I ate".
Gave two experiments: Mice were able to learn not to drink water b/c of
possible correlation
1. Mice drank water--> noise & lights--> electric shock
2. Mice drank water--> weird taste--> nausea induced by x-rays
Changed experiments: Mice were unable to learn not to drink water b/c no
