So your claim is that success stories are some kind of emergent phenomenon that comes from people chasing dopamine highs?

- echoangle 2y agoIs that controversial? I would say everything a human does is to feel better, and everything someone does that doesn’t make them feel better immediately is just done in the expectation of even greater pleasure later.
- mnky9800n 2y agoI don’t think the human experience can be reduced down to “if feels good is true then continue else try something else”. But I could be wrong.
- echoangle 2y agoWell mine can, with some tactics and strategy layered on top. If I do something I don’t like, I only do it because the payoff later makes it worth it (or at least I think it will from my current knowledge).
- earnestinger 2y agoWhile humans seek “profit”. It is important that “profit”, comes in various forms, which exchange rates are problematic to calculate (or maybe there can’t be any): not hungry, not thirsty, tastes good, not cold, feel safe, feel excited, feel righteous, feel powerful, listen to music, watch a movie, get curious, satisfy curiosity, laugh, love, sex, rock n roll.
