Wow so really using certain medications to flood the brain is like using a bazooka vs how dopamine is meant to be more precisely distributed.
We don’t have many legitimate medications that would do what you’re saying.
Exactly! People will look back at us akin to how we look at people who were given cocaine for a sore throat years ago
Please share with the class what medication you’re vaguely alluding to
Probably amphetamines, people love to shit on amphetamines when it comes to their use in treatment of ADHD. Most of that criticism comes from a fundamental misunderstanding of both chemistry and biology.
Agreed. It’s eugenics when you hammer down into it.
Yes, that’s always been more or less the case. However, the brain’s uptake/use of neurotransmitters like Dopamine has been understood for decades to have at least some specificity to it. We always knew we were shooting flies with shotguns, though.
Hell, mine hasn’t worked like it’s “supposed to” for, like, ever, AFAIK. So, eh. 🤷🏼♂️
The only thing surprising here is that people thought it worked any other way to begin with. Given that it’s a reinforcement mechanism then it makes sense that it would be both spatially and temporally discrete.
And that’s how it’s been understood for decades. The article creates a silly and false premise.
science reporting continues to be garbage
