You've crossed the threshold.
It's the same with heroin, a little makes you feel great, alot makes you node off, too much stops your heart and breathing.
That escalated quickly
People make these elaborate lists of things that are different.
But with respect to WHY we DO ANYTHING at all, it's a very simple metric in the brain..
You did X, at one point, it released this much dopamine, this generated a memory this strong.
Tomorrow, weigh this memory (dopa potential) against other possibilities.
If other Possibilities > X, do other, otherwise, do X..
That's not oversimplified, That's literally it..
That's why it's important to look at END Game human behavior..
The normal course of dopa release, is a slow rise in core fundamentals, then a peak on hedonistic tendencies, by that time, it would've been approximately age 45, and you would've only lived 5 more years if not for human society and technology. (wild humans died around age 50)
Now that people live longer , with even more capacity and tech, we peak on hedonism as early as age 10-14.
From there, we attempt to exceed our natural designs in pleasure reception, and throw ever growing resource at maximizing the "feels"
There is Slow corruption of our core metric (greasy food), and there's rapid (heroin)..
They both lead to the SAME PLACE..
If anything, slow corruption consumes significantly more resources.
The solution is obvious, but because we've dampened public education for so many years to maintain the bottom service level occupations, we have an entire society of idiots and rabid-addicts..
Even though now we know, continuing this course is dangerous and may lead to serious extinction threats, how are we suppose to undo all the years of amassing a dangerously large non-thinking population,
who have never been trained to adhere to any level of temperance We can't just tell people to do something, and they do it.
The majority of behaviors are built early from the grounds up. Some things like (cohesive family structures) take generations to take root and inherit..
