Dopamine and FOMO
Chances are, you have a problem with one of these two things. You might not even know what they are.
But what if I told you that they are the two mechanisms by which this generation is being destroyed, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
They’re so powerful because they are natural responses. In fact, they serve important purposes.
However, that’s also what makes them so dangerous.
They’re very powerful for influencing human behavior, and they don’t cost a thing to produce. They don’t need to be sourced, manufactured, or shipped.
They come right from the human brain.
Instead, they just need to be harnessed, which happens to be very easy.
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter. It’s a hormone that the body produces as a kind of reward. It’s one of the happy chemicals.
It’s released when you accomplish tasks, eat good food, gamble, or learn something new.
It is at the center of our brain's reward system and also of our global economy. Tech giants, news agencies, and virtually everyone else are vying for attention above all. Get more people to pay attention for longer and more people will pay. It's pretty simple and also the reason for the user experience the sites we use, click-bait, and the doom-scrolling we've become accustomed to.

Dopamine is not bad. Neither is FOMO
