Advantage is a false sense of security and predictability of future. False sense cause your human brain has no idea whether the current situation you are in is good for you long term. If just blindly assumes so.

Disadvantage is you ruin your life by living a repetitive life. Probably the #1 regret in death bed.

The "regret in death bed" thing is a modern preoccupation, as is novelty seeking. Those are not that organic either, they're cultural trends starting from books, movies, etc., that later got marketed and sold to people by the advertising/life coaching/self help industries too.

For millions of years of evolutionary history the main concern was making it alive, having a family, building a homestead, putting food on the table, keeping dangers (including enemies) off, and so on.

If you had those things, the "current situation" was good. They didn't aspire to get a promotion, start a startup, or become a travel vlogger.

The "novelty seeking" has been the exception, and even the novelty seekers didn't consider it a primarily purpose of one's life.
