The Gorilla in the Arcade

Our biology hasn't really moved out of the jungle or the forest. We're now thrust into this place where there are blinking lights and snacks all over the place. And it's no wonder that we just get so caught up in it, because were it really is so alluring. When our brain is looking for the most pleasure and the least pain the gorrilla in the arcade is going to make some pretty bad choices,. There's also a really good discussion of this in a book called dopemine nation which i read a little bit a little while ago. I found that very helpfuland we can put links to those in the show notes.
