The Dopamine War: Reclaiming Your Mind From Porn, Phones, and Instant Pleasure [Ep. #341]

The tech world will always try to sell you that they have the answers, but they don't because they can't.

That's the X factor that cannot be solved for, which is a substitute for God.

It's always going to look the same from a certain angle, but spend enough time with it.

And porn doesn't feel anything like it.

It lacks the romance.

It lacks the care.

It lacks the depth.

You know, all these things.

It's just this ridiculous character of the actual thing.

And we know it.

So it hasn't resolved anything.

It just puts people in a lonelier place.

And the only way back to our natural state is together with God.

Welcome

back to Love Life and Legacy, the podcast dedicated to helping you navigate these hypersexualized times.

And today, everybody, Benji and I are going back to basics here.

We're going to be talking about dopamine.

But, you know, this is an often explored topic that you could find throughout the land of the Internet.

But we've actually this conversation was enlightening because I learned a lot, actually.

It's quite deep.

It's very practical and it's also very enriching to understand how much of our life is controlled by accident by somebody else.

And even our emotions and how we feel about ourself and the world around us, we've often outsourced that to algorithms rather than deciding who we want to be, how we want to participate in technology.

And because of that, we feel like strangers in our own lives sometimes.

So I would really love for you to listen to this.

I think it's every single person, regardless of where you're at in your journey with sexual integrity, dopamine plays a massive role in this, for better or for worse.

So without further ado, I invite Benji and myself to speak with you and together about dopamine.
