> But everyone else? You're voluntarily breaking yours. I need medication to feel what you could feel naturally if you stopped training your brain that effort gets you nowhere.
> I was born with this dysfunction. You're choosing it.
This ending is worse than a TV show revealing a dream sequence.
We get it, you're special, we're sheep, thank you for enlightening us.
I was truly enjoying it until the author decided to throw out a middle finger.
- Aurornis 1y agoThey link to a blog post where they say they claim to have been diagnosed with “dopamine deficiency”, which is not a real diagnosis. This is a classic example of someone misinterpreting the science and coming to believe that their state is not their fault. They believe it is entirely inflicted upon them by a medical condition, whereas other people are responsible for their actions and outcomes.
- FollowingTheDao 1y agoI fault him only for his youth. becasue he is on the right track, just eager and still has a lot to learn. It is quite possible he has genetics that make Dopmaine much ore of a problem for him.
- Aurornis 1y agoDopamine is not the catch-all, explain-everything chemical he believes it is. He has rolled up his personality characteristics and learned behaviors and decided to blame it all on dopamine, then took it a step further and decided it must be all genetic and external to his actions. But then he goes even a step further than that, and decides that his condition is not his fault, but everyone else who is in a similar position has done this to themselves through lifestyle choices. > I fault him only for his youth. From reading his post titles he’s a plus or minus 30 year old man, not a youth.

- OldfieldFund 1y agoit's a study about flies
- ak_builds 1y agoI just realised that the proceeding study is not available publicly. It builds on a hypothesis the researchers hold for humans. I can't host it on a public server, um..., any other way to share it?
- ak_builds 1y agoI am sorry it came out like that. That was not the intended ending I wished for. I have written several articles about my problem in depth. Dopamine deficiency is the simplest way to put it.
