Using slackware makes you a more powerful person, power enables you to exert more control over your environment and thusly likely to increase reproductive success.
I'm not saying you are, but the things that give you joy, do so because it's positively correlated to you increasing your genes frequency in the following generation. Even if you chose not to do so. But that which gives us joy is very closely linked to things that make us more procreative-y
Drugs like those are just a short cut or placeholder for the other stuff mentioned in this thread. You are basically shorting your reward circuit by flooding with something that is similar to neurotransmitters. You just cut out the middle man.
I don't know why you are pissed off, but don't unload that crap on me. 😭
However please give me anything you like, that you like for any other reason than it being rewarded because of it's correlation with increased frequency of your genes in the next generation.
re-evaluating yourself you will find it difficult to find anything you like, the like of which isn't brought about by a reward system that's geared towards releasing dopamine for anything that increases the likelihood of successful procreation.
edit: you are alsdo wrong about my point being incorrect 😘
The number of mutations are vanishingly small compared to the genetic code of billions of pairs. The fraction of mutations that are not silent is even smaller.
the likelihood of which is vanishingly small, and the likelihood of it not being a silent one is even exponentially vanishingly smaller.
But technically (which affects a VANISHINGLY SMALL NUMBER of people) you might hypothetically correct in these 1 or 2 cases alive today. I think that is very unlikely though.
The now lacking effectiveness doesn't change the fact that it is impossible to like something that isn't geared towards increasing gene frequency in the following generations. Just because it stopped working doesn't change that fact.
My point is that anything you appreciate you appreciate because it somehow correlates to increasing the likelihood of your genes becoming more frequent in the next generation.
nyou share 99.99% of those genes so you are still increasing the frequency of your genes in the next generation. Just in that case not compared within the species, but compared to the gene pool of all life on earth.
Laugh all you want reading dune provides a lot of material for conversation and it does make you a more interesting person. Both increase the likelihood of getting laid.
your reward system can only reward things that lead to more of your genes in the next generation. That is why we are here, all the people who's reward system didn't reward the activities that are most likely to increase gene frequency in the next generation died out.
