For me personally, the latter, but there's definitely people out there that just love driving.

Either way, these silly reductionist games aren't addressing the point: if I just want to get from A to B then I definitely want the absolute minimum of unpredictability in how I do it.

That would ruin the brain placticity.

I wonder now, if everything is always different and suddenly every day would be the same. How many times as terrifying would that be compared to the opposite?

Only because you think the driving is what you want. The point is that what you want is determined by our brain chemicals. Many steps could be skipped if we could just give you the chemicals in your brain that you craved.
