Everything you think you know about addiction is wrong | Johann Hari
- electroglyph 1y agothanks for sharing that
- Aeglaecia 1y agothanks for sharing this for people who arent already aware , it would be great for the unaware to search gabor mate's work into addiction too , im not interested in discussing junkies and addiction im interested in discussing the promulgation of drugs to a society that doesn't benefit from it on average
- balamatom 1y agoIf society didn't benefit from it in some way, would it really be allowed to happen? Because sure, it may end up fucking up a bunch of people for whose problem it was the wrong solution. And commercializing it will probably diminish its value in some way. But society is a consummate egoist.
