SCHEDULE & NEWS
DOPAMINE DETOX is coming out on Tuesday.
Experiment conducted on a group of healthy rats. Their brains were connected to a device that directly modulates the dopaminergic system. The rats were then shown they could receive a shot of dopamine by pressing a readily available button.
Results?
The rats repeatedly pressed the button for a simple reward, neglecting the need to eat, mate, sleep, or engage in any other activities essential for survival. Dopamine receptors became desensitized. Once the button was taken away, they immediately experienced severe anxiety and depressive states. Interest in survival further diminished. A detox is needed.
Now, apply the exact same mechanics to humans and call that connected to the brain dopamine-releasing device social media, 15-second videos, computer games, porn, and the like.
Results?
Yes, indeed. Humans repeatedly pressed the button, seeking more easy rewards. Removing the stimulus device resulted in a severe lack of motivation and eventually anxiety and depression. Finally, an incompetent psychiatrist prescribes SSRIs. The circle closes.
Dopamine is a chemical of pleasure-driven motivation/desire that, unlike the conscious-subconscious mind, doesn't recognize your goals. It just plays a simple role: establish an environment in the body to help you achieve a reward. Once you get the reward, dopamine levels drop drastically. This neurotransmitter is a strong determinant of life success (in the ancient times meant survival), which doesn't come down to its high concentration, but channeled & efficient activity towards one's ultimate goal.
Correspondingly, each smallest surge of dopamine resulting from "easy rewards," such as browsing cockamamie posts on social media, will be followed by its drop, and make your body strive for more easy rewards, e.g., next post or another video. In such a case, instead of using dopamine to serve your goals, it will become strictly linked to this particular activity, resulting in addiction and repressing your actual needs. Eventually, leading to boredom, poor concentration, brain fog, depressive states, and reduced effectiveness of your work.
Don't go crazy; however, limit the pointless exposure and make all the smallest dopamine-releasing tasks an actual reward for your good work, not an obvious, easy-going part of your day. At the end of the day, an intense workout, cleaning up your car, reading a book, and working on self-improvement will become astonishingly appealing tasks again. We don't need the vast majority of the things we're globally dopamine-programmed to strive for. Their only purpose is to clamp down on our focus - "Bread and circuses".
