How Dopamine Is Ruining The Entire World…
We Are All Lazier Than Ever
--
Many companies worldwide have studied the concept of Dopamine and how it works. They have designed many platforms from knowing about Dopamine and how it affects our brains. Dopamine is a reward system for the brain. When people have Sex, Do Drugs, Play Video Games, Alcohol, Eat Junk Food, and Get lots of likes on Social Media Platforms, our dopamine systems are rewarded. Unfortunately, Dopamine is used very badly and can seriously ruin the world.

You have this feeling, especially if you have cards up to 10,000 dollars. You can buy so many things in the world. It makes the possibility of squandering money abundant. According to Stieg and Cory, this has even been proven in a study.
"Using credit cards stimulate the brain reward system and an urge for further spending, according to a recent study from MIT that examined the neuroscience of buying things."
