Dopamine surges create cravings that drive addictive behavior, trapping the brain in a cycle that demands more. The speaker warns that unchecked dopamine addiction could undermine people's ability to give informed consent.
Dopamine is what drives addiction, without a doubt. So when you get a hit of dopamine, your brain goes, I want more of that. And your brain will teach you to do whatever it has to do to get more of that when it gets into an addictive cycle. This is how people get addicted. This is exactly how it works. So you're bringing up its own faults right there, because that's when it kicks in. All right, so there's a lot of dangers to it. That's why we brought it up. Now, to be fair, we're not doing today's program on it, but how many agree it could have a huge impact on consent if we don't address it? If you agree that's true, say, that's true. That's true. Yeah, because I don't want you thinking you owe any of that stuff. Super important.
