knowledge-gathering is the best way to weaponize hedonic adaptation.

hedonic adaptation with regard to material possessions is bad because it leaves you wanting more stuff, which becomes physically harder over time.

but you can always accumulate more knowledge at almost zero cost. this is part of the reason why reading books is a great hobby/way to give purpose to your life. there is literally always another interesting book to read. and every new book you pick up perfectly satisfies your craving for knowledge.
