In short:
Image/video related to your interest = dopamine hit. Constant dopamine hits = addiction. Addiction = depression, less braincells, mental illness.
Text only = none of the above because no image/video = makes you think. And thinking is (obviously) good.
What’s “humanly correct” about avoiding dopamine hits? It’s just about the least human thing that you can do.
Creating artificial feedback loops based on dopamine hits leads to not getting them when actual rewarding behavior occurs.
More like, you become enslaved by (whatever gives your “dopamine fix”), getting you closer of being a literal “zombie” (Does not rationale – relies “everything” on its dopamine source).
What?
That is just pure, unaltered science friend. If you don’t understand, just talk to (pretty much) any doctor. Even a dentist. :^)
“Does not rationale” is “pure, unaltered science”?
See, to me it is gibberish. “Does” is an auxiliary verb and “not” is a negating modifier (an adverb) that is supposed to be followed by a verb.
“Rationale” is not a verb. It is a noun.
For someone telling people to do things that make them think you’re astonishingly bad at the activity in question yourself. For someone telling people to communicate in words, you’re astonishingly bad with words yourself. Were this a religious argument I’d be pointing you to that thing about specks and beams right about now.
Something something “the human brain wasn’t made for constant dopamine hits that an automated system provides”. And not being addicted to such system makes you a better human (non-addicted, critical thinking individual.).
Or, in other words – we are made to conquer. Not being conquered – specially by machines.
Thinking is obviously good. Yet you don’t do it.
Let’s say I post a scientific paper. Have you looked at a scientific paper recently? Count the diagrams, photographs, etc.
Extrapolate.
Extrapolating sounds like too much work. Can you just show me a picture?
I bet I could get addicted simply to following interesting discussions without imagery.
Would you have the same opinion of small handheld video game devices as well?
I’ve been browsing this website since the early 90s looking for a post like this. I consider you a fellow!
Your opinion should of never been unpopular in an ideal society. The only reason you are isolated is because society has been infected by graphic design and other mental illness.
I feel the same about IDEs. If you don’t use vim or emacs you might as well go fill in a coloring book.
This is why the Gemini protocol is better than HTTP for me. All those media formats still work, but they’re usually embedded as links and you see primarily text. The spec design means that it can’t become the unhealthy thing that the internet has.
