You must live a low dopamine lifestyle (/showthread.php?tid=33500)You must live a low dopamine lifestyle - n9wiff - 14-04-2025
The modern world is plagued with distractions left and right so you are never bored anymore and there is always something to keep you occupied with.
Quote:YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok, Video Games etc.
I would describe I as highly poisonous and addictive. I would stay away at all costs no matter what.
Quote:Music and Porn
Yes, in the same category and they are both equally disgusting. Music is high addictive and it's over if you are listening to it 24/7 and turning it on for the smallest chore. Porn is just disgusting anyways but same thing.
Being bored is good of course, and you need to teach your brain to live with itself and properly reward you for doing good things instead of drowning it with endlessness hedonistic pleasure from day in till day out.
Quote:Smart-phones
Genuinely evil invention, smart-phones are used to track you and are the gateway to bringing all the hedonistic demons with you on the go. If you have a cucked government like mine then you probably NEED a phone to make payments and sign up for shieeeet without any sort of assurance on how your data is used.
That being said, it's not like using a phone =/ the end of the world but you should first things first uninstall YouTube, Music players, Games and any social media apps.
Plus points if you are able to buy a new phone and install something like GrapheneOS on it.
Is there anything more obnoxious and disgusting than someone just using their phone in public? I've always found it utterly obnoxious and annoying to no end. At least I never built up such a habit of taking out my phone the moment my mind isn't constantly stimulated. It's genuinely poison.
Quote:Entertainment
You can still watch movies and play games if you want but I'd limit them greatly. Keep them to a minimal and make sure you do important stuff before.

Yes this thread is very legit because nowadays entertainment was designed not to be a supplement to your life but YOUR life, nowadays most people spend most of their free days if not all exacerbated in some sort of entertainment
The contrast is huge in the past where you have to manually locate the time and date of when your favor show was going to be on, your music, your sports team and log out a part of your busy day just to catch a glimpse of the series or album
So that's why it's better to just completely remove it. I can finish entire season of a show, watch newest movie, play the top game and then watch a pornography video of Stacy in the very same day, that was never possible in past
It's just too "good" nowadays, but yeah it's poison

The only beneficial thing or use of internet right now that I see is Ask AI and sometimes this forum. That's only thing I care for right now, everything else looks like a poison

Your brain will be wired like someone with a genuine drug addiction like alcohol or rec. drugs.
It is extremely hard and not a straightforward journey
I plan to fuck all of this by the time I'm 25

Yeah I can imagine some kid 300,000 years ago accidentally witnessing a couple having sex
But nowadays they claim sex scenes are a "scourge"

I always leave my phone under the Bible when I go to bed.
