What's intellectually dishonest is pretending that "endorphin fix" constitutes the purpose of human existence, whereas it is just a byproduct. How it is attained matters. In fact, ability to reason about that is what makes humans self-aware.
Besides, "endorphins" are just a roundabout, cowardly (and factually incorrect) way to refer to general human happiness. You're implying that Snapchats of this world make people feel happy and fulfilled. They don't. There are hundreds of these social media start-ups, yet 1 in 10 Americans takes antidepressants. (Which is a diagnosis problem, but it does illustrate how many people feel seriously unhappy.)
