Yes, wired very differently. I think that’s why I used the Star Trek analogy.

This motivation is like a strange curiosity to me. This pursuit of product is so foreign to me, and from the outside it doesn’t seem healthy. But I guess if the Klingon like going into glorious battles to the death better than chilling at home with their family, who am I to question their motivation?
