No one will invest their time, brain power and intellectual prowess to receive an absolute "0". We are motivated by some type of reward whether it be personal (as in your case), or to be recognized by our peers.

I don't think it's true that everyone is motivated by personal or material gain (as antithetical or sacrilegious as that may seem to be to this type of forum), and in my case I have no need to be "recognized by peers." As to what I gain out of this, I have always enjoyed a good mystery that challenges my thinking skills, as my avatar may have suggested to you. It also makes for a good story if nothing else.
My congratulations to you for attaining spiritual immortality. I'm afraid I have been remiss in that regard.
