and as a psychiatrist explained it to me once, you lose your inhibitions. I have no idea why this seems to translate into sex and shopping so much but there are other things. All the feelings of omnipotence ,the euphoria, the feeling connected to god, feeling like I can heal people and have psychic abilities. Start planning my route into Harvard for astro physics lol. Its not just a rush we seek.
I DO seem much more intelligent and capable when I'm manic so there is something to be said about that.

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning, I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
