Setting aside the bad analogy, real people are much more likely to eat broccoli than to do heroin.
- saubeidl 9mo agoOnce they've had a taste of both?
- woooooo 9mo agoI am confident that the number of broccoli eaters exceeds the number of heroin users.
- saubeidl 9mo agoI would posit that is because many more people have had a taste of broccoli than of heroin.
- keybored 9mo agoYou would posit based on what? Defunct rats-pressing-pleasure-button studies? Many people have had "heroin" in the form of morphine in the hospital. They don’t turn into morphine-seekers. Addiction and pleasure seeking is more complex than having a taste and then being hooked forever. Of course many people can't get out of this Skinner Box type of mindset.
