I hate - HATE - the popular science understanding of dopamine. every time i read an article about dopamine addiction i die a little inside. Every time I see a tech bro video about dopamine addiction i die a little inside. i knew i was going to hate reading this before clicking on it but i did it anyway (which is actually a result of dopamine, ironically)
reads like every other popsci article about dopamine tbh, just with some actual citations (which themselves are fine but are a terribly narrow selection of very over-technical articles that I feel the author misinterprets)
nerd beef

There’s no way that this article is not AI slop by the way it’s written, which is even more depressing
