I used to drive a jet-black BMW convertible. When I floored it, tearing around corners and up hills, finally rolling to a stop in my garage, I could smell the hot oil of the finely tuned engine. It was a pleasure to drive that car. Cars like that are often considered a status symbol. There s a memetic backlash against status symbols these days.
People say such things shouldn t be important.
When there s a heavy shouldn t around some behavior, it usually means there s a real Level-1 drive to do that very behavior. This results in civilized society, but the loss of the feelings of fulfillment and happiness that meeting the Level-1 drive brings. In Level 3, I recognize my own driving needs and find constructive ways to meet them rather than trying to suppress them. Suppressing them leads to stress and ineffectiveness because so much of my unconscious mind is taken up trying to meet these suppressed needs. In the best case, that dissonance will produce something useful like humor or creative expression, but more often the conscious suppression of driving Level-1 needs will lead to the unconscious mind finding destructive ways to meet those needs.
