0:00.0	The probability of something becoming addictive is how much dopamine it produces and how easily
0:05.5	accessible it is to you in any given moment. Sounds like Instagram. Exactly. Dopamine is produced
0:11.1	in anticipation for a future event. I don't get dopamine from the pornography itself. I get dopamine
0:18.6	from the anticipation of a particular experience that's posed in the future.
0:23.6	But once I have the experience, that dopamine baseline goes down.
0:28.6	Kind of like you do the drug or you do the thing, you get that little bit of a hit upon moment of arrival.
0:34.6	But then the more you do it, the less of the pleasure that you get,
0:38.2	and then you need to do more of it to keep the dopamine baseline steady.
0:42.5	When we understand that dopamine is responsible for the motivational neuro networks of the brain,
0:50.0	how motivation functions, what we're motivated by, and why we're motivated by it,

And it's just been such a pleasure, man, to see your growth and the new book, The Addiction Free Lifestyle, which thank you, man, you put me on the back. That's really cool. I'm going to talk about the impact of this book on my life. And we're going to go deep into all things addiction. But let's start right here. As we jump into this world of like understanding exactly what addiction is beyond just the definition. There's a esoteric and really a quantum meaning to this entire phrase addiction. You know, Gabor Matte talks about addiction as being
2:03.4	the opposite of connection, either with myself or others. But it's so curious to me why so many
2:09.3	people are addicted to things and people and relationships and drugs and just, you name it.
