The way these adults scream out long disproven neuroscience old wive's tales to justify their beliefs is terrifying.

All these passive stimuli coming through your normal senses are not in any way hijacking or directly manipulating incentive salience or motivation. They're not drugs. Screen displays do not have the properties of drugs no matter what is displayed on them. Arguing that they do is ignorant and dangerous.



Looks like at this time the screen has triggered quite an emotional (probably irrational) response.

Besides your point is nonsense.


Directly modifying incentive salience via drugs is different than normal environmental stimuli through normal sense perceptions. They require different responses from society and parroting falsehoods like you and others are doing is dangerous. You've already seen what the "drug war" has justified. Bringing that kind of response in to deal with normal aspects of living is wrong.

The youtube is dangerous crowd has about as much legitimacy as the 5G radio is dangerous crowd.


Blah blah blah.

This is all nonsense and has nothing to do with the original comment.


It has everything to do with the original comment. I'm trying to explain that "dopamine techniques" isn't a thing anymore than "chakra techniques" but it's obviously not getting through.
