I lean toward “efficient entertainment”, but I do sometimes wonder what that chunk of my free time would look like otherwise.

I just like to face reality and not pretend that dopamine escapism is cool. Sorry if that personally hurt you but it’s better to be self aware and still do the thing than delusional that it is the same as more worthwhile forms of time spending.

Dopamine escapism IS cool. It’s fucking amazing we can hack our electric meat that hallucinates “reality” and has cool memetic self reproductive patterns.

Pretending we’re anything but wet sacks of chemical reactions is weird to me…
