Why You Can’t Stop Clicking !! We're Addicted to Dopamine!!
I watch my children and grand babies interact with their 'devices' and I'm saddened. 'We' remember life before fakebook, instagram, games, puzzles, quizes that tell you how wonderful you are, endless duck-lipped selfies, checking in when you go to the grocery store (I mean, who gives a rip?).. And on and on it goes.
My Grands think I'm weird because I like to light a fire, sit in the dark and 'think' or read a good book, or sit in a chair, looking out a window and watch the rain or snow fall. Sometimes the urge to dig my hands into dirt and plants is overwhelming. I don't think I'm in love with dirt. lol No, it's more a feeling of being connected to Mother Earth and the spiritual forces of Air, Water, Earth, and Fire ..
There is nothing wrong with dopamine, it's essential. Dopamine from hiking in the woods, or hugging your child = good... Dopamine from someone stroking your ever inflating ego by liking your picture or joke = bad...
Which wolf do you feed??

Activist Post Editor’s Note: Silicon Valley has taken to “dopamine fasting” in a new fad to give their high-tech brains a rest from over-stimulation.
Meanwhile, Silicon Valley parents have also been in the news for keeping their own children out of high-tech schools. It seems that the creators of this technology are well aware of the negative effects.
Aaron and Melissa Dykes cover the science behind the dopamine-driven feedback loops that are a clear form of mind control through addiction.
