I think even with money and other extrinsic rewards out of the question, many people would still wouldn't be happy with the ability to do what they want to do because of social pressure. Just like how social pressures may cause you to do things you wouldn't want to do otherwise, they can also prevent you from doing things you would have done otherwise because people are concerned with how others view them and to many people, they value social capital and the relationships they have with others. I'm still unsure of exactly what this thread is getting at, so I hope this post is contributive somehow.
