This is another case of mistaking the cause for the effect. It is not alcohol, diet or online content that is causing the "enslaving", they are simply a coping mechanism, an effect or a symptom of a neuro-somatic problem. It's why not all people are susceptible to these issues, and the class of people who are is fairly well identified.
And the cause has also been fairly well established in the literature. Eliminating the "effects" will do little in solving the problem.
- meiraleal 5y agoPoint 1 definitely doesn't fit in your explanation. Processed food is highly related to what companies want to produce and marketing to make more and easy money, turning their consumers into addicted/slaves. It is not a coping mechanism if most people only know and have access to food that has more to do with plastic than nutrients. Eliminate this effect would help all others.
- ldjkfkdsjnv 5y agoI dont think so. I think all the issues I listed are modern inventions that hack the human brain in ways that never existed in nature. The problems are more shallow than we think, technology with a profit driven motive finds ways to appeal to the human brain that are bad. Essentially what was scarce was highly appealing, and technology makes it plentiful, turning people into zombies. The problems are more shallow, strip them away and you are left with biology, which full well can function.
