Stoicism & Dopamine
 | 
Brazil BrazilionKawaii 
Recently I've been reading stoic people and now i decided i'm going for a more stoic lifestyle, i'll go through some pain and lack of pleasure in life in a trade for something bigger for my future, I uninstalled all games, movies, websites and any sort of entertainment that would delay me towards a meaningful life, i'm doing a total dopamine detox, and that is great because it helps reset the brain's reward system, break addictive behavior, and improve focus and productivity, it's basically why you can't stop scrolling tiktok or youtube shorts, you go full zombie mode scrolling for more and more dopamine doses and that make u impossible to handle harder and time consuming tasks, these big techs know exactly how to make u addicted, gonna take control over myself again, it might be a harsh move and hard to adapt but imma make it anyways. thoughts?

I think Dopamine doesn't work the way you think it does.

it definitely doesn't but doesn't it make sense that the more pleasure you get with small moves such as playing games, scrolling tiktok and other sort of easy dopaminergic stuff the harder it gets for you to handle harder tasks that barely gives you any sort of pleasure such as hours of studying or hard work for a whole day that will give u pleasure only when u finish it, not because of the finished job though, but simply because you made it.

I mean there's different types of dopamine, a tryptamine occuring naturally. The scope is that people do think in simple terms. When the scope is more complicated the terms get more ambiguous. But I agree that there's some kind of body chemistry involved with tiktok, games etc..

I think it's better to do it one step at a time instead of radical changes

people who do nothing has 100% of staying in the same place, if all of my efforts gives me 0.1% of chances of getting me somewhere better why not doing it? actaully there are only reasons to do so, it's not like i'm gonna die if I'm not entertained 100% of the time, I hate my life, something gotta be done about this shit i'm living

Why is stoicism becoming so popular among incels? No offense
2023-04-29 20:42
I feel like without all these things you're gonna get bored and lose motivation to do anything. And your only flex will be is that you are stoic.

check alex becker's dopamine videos. he is great
2023-04-29 20:57
yeah man thats good and all but the point is to have self control, to be able to put forward tasks that might be boring, hard or doesn't give you any immediate satisfaction. But it doesn't mean you should abstain from it. Having interests balanced with other things in life like work, sleep and friends is just the best way to go.

It just seems like you are moderating and controlling your procrastination intake. Dopamine isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's just how you opt to perceive it and what obviously causes that.
