I happened to be driving home at the same time as my wife, but didn’t realise. Was driving a good 5 min while trying to figure out why my podcast stopped playing. Her car was close enough to steal away my phone’s Bluetooth connection. She was just as confused with a random philosophy podcast suddenly cancelling out her music.

What does that have to do with motivational salience? Seems more like a serotonin boost, if we’re going to get neuro-pseudo-sciency about it.
