People do not actually have a reason to cocoonmode and study all day. You are using studying as your launchpad of getting society's approval and therefor supposedly attracting a better mate when everyone's cheering you and mentioning your name. Studying done in raw exploratory fashion, i.e in the way that you play a game for nothing else but to satisfy your desire to explore the unknown and see what happens in that game, is very limited and becomes boring the moment you stop exploring and switch to the working mindset. That's when your brain will pull out the caloric expense vs caloric reward calculator and realize that there are much shorter paths to a caloric prosperity or even opposite sex approval than reading even one section of the list on the left. Once your subconsciousness realizes that it's not worth doing it, you will not do it no matter how hard you try to force yourself to do it. If you keep whipping yourself into doing it you will, at first, start falling into reflexive daydreaming every 10 minutes or so to kill the boredom and stop expending useless calories, and the longer you stay in that state the shorter the cycle will become until it becomes a permanent daydreaming - schizophrenia.
You will claim that you are more than a primate and you can surely study for a higher purpose other than getting society's approval or dipping into a topic real quick to explore the unknown, but trust me, you don't. No one does. Humans cannot function like this and our brains get blasted by a soup of negative reinforcement chemicals to specifically prevent us from doing it if there's no carrot at the end of the stick. The road to the idealistic Ubermensch is exactly one step away from us at any time, but no one has ever taken that step because we simply can't. A quick mind here and there who invents the thing before he gets bored, that's about it.
