Dopamine isn't a pleasure molecule. It's a memory molecule. It's not what feels good, it's what won't EVER let you forget that something felt nice that one time. Without it, we'd forget to function.

Our will to live is based entirely on hormonal reminders to chase various highs.

Power is intoxicating & the human behavioral response to it is fucking bonkers. Brains love power. Power=controlled environment=improved survival chances. But the more we have, the more likely we\u2019ll abuse it, and the less likely anyone will tell us \u201cGo home, you\u2019re power drunk\u201d https://t.co/ArIYUsSgm5

Like the bush wiggle? Me too. It's b/c our reward ctrs connect to our motor circuits -> our brains love movement. Ours & other people's. Dance, fight scenes, gestures, we love that shit. We're programmed to enjoy the way this bush wiggles, which is why we're all being so weird https://t.co/JLPevEhRSa

There's debate abt whether or not empathy levels are tied to innate temprament/personality, but there's evidence that empathy is trainable and improves after exposure to new experience and adversities. Like, for example, your bf being petty and gifting you his dick for your bday https://t.co/TcKI6QmFs5
