One of the things I think about all the time is how unstable the situation was for young men to get on Viking ships and try to cross the ocean or for people to stay in Iceland. People were crossing the US in Wagon trains .... Oregon Trail status. We still have it easy out here to be honest with you.
So much dopamine people blew their receptors out.
I agree. But, on the other hand, being on a wagon train, there was nothing else. Extreme focus, by extreme circumstance. Also, you made it, or you didn't. Not like you might have gotten a flat tire on your journey, and had to wait for a tow truck. So many trade offs.
The question, do we protect children and women for overexposure to dopamine? And how? Because the big tech companies focus on delivering dopamine. Even if it destroys people.
