Delayed gratification is the bomb. It's like "yeah, I could watch YouTube now, but if I clean the cat boxes, take a shower, and make some food I'll be a lot more relaxed and comfortable, which will make the experience of watching some YouTube even better."

one incredible thing my psychiatrist taught me is the type of dopamine you set yourself up to get first thing in the morning. you wake up and check your phone? that's negative dopamine, and that's gonna wire your brain to search for that for the whole day. if you wake up and do something before you check your phone, like make your bed or brush your teeth or do some sit ups, you will feel so much better for the rest of the day, because your brain will be wired to search for that healthy dopamine. as someone with adhd, it literally changed my life to learn that. i still have trouble on some days, but when i actually get up and brush my teeth or do a plank before i check my phone, my entire day has always been so much better.

If it takes a lifetime to manage an addiction (smoking, hoarding, gambling, etc), then a simple 24-hour step back from social media isn't enough

This feels like a nice relief of fresh air compared to so many other creators.

I once didn't use any social media, didn't listen to music or watch youtube for a week and it helped me a lot. I don't think that it was because of dopamine though, but because I was less distracted and had more time to get things done!

"Too much of anything is bad for you."
I feel like this quote is the magnum opus of all quotes because it applies to quite literally everything...including social media.

Okay, I get it. Delayed gratification is when you set a condition to get something done before you have the reward. That's really smart. It's like you're training your brain to want to do work because there's a reward at the end. Like in a video game where you level up for performing certain actions.

EDIT: I realize ADD is no longer used as a medical term. My country still hasn't updated their diagnostic manual, sadly!
I have ADD, which causes me to have too little dopamine as far as I know. People assume dopamine is only about happiness, but lacking it does not mean I'm perpetually unhappy, on the contrary, I'm more cheerful by nature than most people I know. It does, however, make it hard for me to start a project, end what I'm doing, and results in some "careless" behavior that I have to keep under control as best I can.

Tbh I'm tired of the social media... everytime I open it it just tells me that the way I'm living my life is completely wrong I mean one minute I'm seeing videos related to dopamine detox and stuff and the other minute this... I'm seriously just tired of it I just want to live my life and improve it

Am I the only one impressed by just how much effort went into this video, how much effort it took to make it look so effortlessly? The visual representations of the things he talks are clips he took of himself, he could have just downloaded this stuff on the internet, but he chose, âif you want something done right, do it yourself.â Bravo bro!!

I actually learned the phrase âdelayed gratificationâ over a decade ago as a kid; my parents would commend me because I was usually patient for the dessert after dinner, or completed all of my daily chores before allowing myself to relax or have a treat. I later learned to apply that in other aspects of my life, but a lot of that faded away when I became more dependent on my phone and social media to entertain me (I used to be an avid reader and now have almost no attention span)

Bro the angles of the hydroxy groups on that benzene ring is mildly infuriating ahah

I wrote a paper on addiction, dopamine, the rewardsystem, etc, back in college and I've noticed the exact same issue with all these articles and videos about dopamine being completely wrong. Been thinking about doing a video about if for years but never had the time, great to see someone actually did and getting the word out

We need more videos like this on youtube. clear, informed, capable of explaining complex matters in an articulate fashion, while dismantling trendy misconceptions. awesome work mate

All the science aside, it's still a really good idea to decrease or give up using social media or any instant gratification in your life, you shouldn't do it for 24 hours, do it rest of your life and it'll make your mind more clear, calm and happy. (I'm not saying that you should never use any social media, do everything in moderation.)

You post content that somehow exactly corralated with what is popular in media today. its really nice to have a creator who is so in tune with being the audience themselves.

Here are the six most important points from the video:
⢠Dopamine is not the bad guy; it's our expectations and the way we use technology that can be problematic.
⢠Dopamine is not the cause of all our problems. It's just a part of a larger system that affects our behavior.
⢠Dopamine detoxes are not effective and can be harmful because they can make us feel like we're missing out on something good.
⢠Delayed gratification can be beneficial and dopamine is involved in this process.
⢠The brain is complicated and there is no single cause for our problems.
⢠Take the time to question and verify the credibility of the information you consume.

I made this so long ago but I figured I'd share a summarised version of what my argument is - as a a few ppl have gotten confused! 1) Most Dopamine neurons in the midbrain (the part of the brain we're talking about in dopamine detox) signal a reward prediction error (RPE - difference between reward and expectation). 2) This system 'updates' - we become better at knowing what to expect after multiple experiences and thus need a larger reward to achieve a positive RPE (e.g. your first chocolate bar tastes better than your 100th) 3) These neurons are mainly involved in driving motivation (seeking) rather than hedonic pleasure (liking). RPEs are also involved in learning processes. We can therefore learn to seek these things that give us a positive RPE, somewhat independently of whether we enjoy them 4) While midbrain dopamine ('mesolimbic pathway') affects motivation, it's not the only thing dopamine does in the brain + body overall. Dopamine on the whole, does a bunch of things. 5) E.G there is research to suggest that Dopamine activity in the VTA (part of the midbrain) may form part of the neural basis of delayed gratification (this is relatively new research though!) 6) Issues like video game addiction are so often multi-faceted, and involve so many different aspects than just desensitised midbrain DA neurons. I'm preaching to think of these problems not only from a neurotransmitter imbalance side of things, but also to consider how cognitive, social and other psychological factors affect your behaviour. Otherwise you might be disappointed in the promises made by a detox (basically, a detox might help re-sensitise DA receptors if you do it for a good while, but your issues are almost certainly more complex than 'just' that). For reading on midbrain dopamine, I would really recommend 'Dopamine reward prediction error coding' (Schultz, 2016) as a starting point. It's a really readable paper (and he's also my old University professor lol, a lil biased). Also Dr. K over at HealthyGamerGG has some good videos on this too! They inspired some of this video!
