What you'll hear:

  • My girl Cris asked me to talk about this post on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DDehqMypsT_/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
  • Mindless media consumption is "nothing box" and is by nature, easy passive pleasure 4:00
  • Both this and addictive behaviors are driven by dopamine 5:42
  • We tend to judge ourselves for these behaviors as though they are a moral failing on our part, even though it's literally how we were designed 8:00
  • Art-making is more expensive metabolically than mindless media consumption, and so is the cuddly chemicals like oxytocin 10:00
  • How chronic stress can interrupt good brain chemicals and impact female sexual function 14:00
  • Why the starving, tortured artist trope is a load of BS 16:00

Don't go back to sleep.
