The online course I mention in the end of the video can be found right here.

Are you worrying about how clicking and scrolling on all those social media platforms can make us lazy procrastinators?

And if porn might be even worse than social media?

Well, let's start today's content and discover something new...

Dopamine And Social Media Clicking (Porn is The Worst)

Imagine this: Scientists inserted a tiny electrode into a rat brain , connecting it to a special button. Every time the rat pushed that button, he got a hit of dopamine.  

The Rat Experiment: Dopamine and Obsession

Now, here's the kicker – that rat became so obsessed with pushing that button that he lost interest in everything else. Even food and you know, getting it on with female rats. 

Now, answer me this, what online activity gives you the highest amount of dopamine  per click? Well it’s when you’re clicking a new video on those sweet nasty adult sites.  

This is scaringly similar to that rat experiment. 

 The Modern Man's Dilemma: Dopamine On Demand

The modern man has become like that rat aimlessly pushing the dopamine button at the expense of working on his goals and going out searching for a real life partner.   

Dopamine on demand with the click of a button makes us lose interest in real life things.

Now I’m not saying this to point fingers at anyone, because I very much recognize myself in this. 

For me it’s no longer porn sites, but too much social media can have the same effect, and just plain old internet in general.

Reflections and Recognitions: My Personal Experience

But the thing about this is, when we are starting to approach the end of our lives, I just know most of us are not going to look back on our lives and say: “Oh man, I wish I would have spent more time pressing that button”. 

And of course, that’s not all, the more we press that button, the more boring real life becomes right now as well.
