In general, the word addiction is already problematic in most cases because people don't know whether it's a chemical addiction, whether it's a neurological issue.
Nobody really knows at this point.
There wouldn't still be writing books about it if everyone knew.
But I think the place that that comes from is this narrative that's always sort of bothered me about the dopamine release that happens when you're playing video games, which is a bit... I don't know who started it, but
It's just pleasure comes with dopamine release.
We know that.
And there's no evidence that you get more of that playing a video game than you do from eating a hot fudge sundae.
But there is evidence that when it's a drug, it's like 20 to 100 times more dopamine is released.
And that's not true with video games.
So I think that's where that comes from.
And I always like to say, hey, it's not doing all the things that the scare tactics make you think about.
It's not rewiring...
brains.
That's all just language games that people are using.
Yes, it probably... Well, first of all, your brains don't have wires, right?
So it's not rewiring anything.
It's obviously a metaphor.
But even to what they mean by it, which is that the brain is changing because of it.
Yeah, of course, the brain changes because of lots of things.
But to make this a villain is not really accurate.
