It's really weird.
Our biology is designed when we're young.
Teenagers, kids, teenagers, young adults.
The seeking system sort of drives our behavior.
This is exploratory behavior, right?
Like, I'm going to go out, I'm going to check out something new, I'm going to figure out who I am and what I do and how I want to live and how do I want to make a living, all that stuff.
This is about dopamine and norepinephrine.
Those are very potent, feel-good neurochemicals.
They're very addictive.
Very, very, very addictive, right?
Dopamine, cocaine is the most widely addictive drug on earth.
All that happens is it causes the brain to release some dopamine and it blocks its reuptake, right?
So dopamine is really addictive.
When we get stuff that we want to hold on to, oh, I got the right job.
I've got the right partner.
I've got kids.
I've got dogs.
I've got a great apartment.
I like my bike, whatever it is.
We start trading our addictive habits.
