   Living is a drug. We are all just addicts trying to keep the trip going. We normalize addiction and ritualization when it suits the goal. Eating is a compulsion that is driven by hunger. We hunger not for food, but we hunger for life! And when that food is provided and provided that food is good we are rewarded very handsomly (or punished rather harshly) in our gustatory perception. Shitting is a compulsion to a nessecary ritual of life. The active expulsion of that which does not assist us on our trip. Fucking is a compulsion that creates another addict. It self perpetuates, for after one has overdosed on their own time there can be another to keep the trip going.
   
   So what happens when someone breaks free of the addiction?
   
   Spiritual awakening? Ego death? Nothing? Something?

   If life is like a drug addiction, quitting it is death.
   
   I think you make a couple good points though. We are driven to act. Everything we do is a matter of compulsion. You don't have free will. You are just a part of a fractal structure that is larger than you can even comprehend.

   What if heaven is living forever on a space station and only the smartest humans are permitted to exist in paradise. And I don't mean smart like "look at my bank account and GED scores and 1000 word essay about reality". I mean smart like "can build your own nuclear reactor" and clandestine space stations instead of relying on science like its working for YOU

   None of this was implied in the OP.
