Everything you do “triggers dopamine”. Reading HN triggers dopamine. Eating breakfast triggers dopamine. Dopamine is also important for movement and many other things.
This is a lame reduction of brain chemistry that has been used to push agendas. Dopamine is not equivalent do addiction.

- Aurornis 6mo agoArgument was literally that “social media triggers dopamine” which was supposed to imply something else. Stop trying to say “dopamine” when you really mean to refer to a behavioral problem.

- nomel 6mo ago> Dopamine is not equivalent do addiction. What about porn, sex, and gambling addiction, which are all un-boosted dopamine addictions?
