VRILL INSIGHTS
Dopaminemaxxing
Dopaminemaxxing may sound bad but it is the key.
A couple of year ago I found this study: Putting desire on a budget: dopamine and energy expenditure, reconciling reward and resources_ and it f*cked me up.
Dopamine isn’t the pleasure molecule. You read The Molecule of More, you think you got it. You don't. It's deeper.
Dopamine is the accountant. It runs the budget for your body, and you don’t run on money, you run on energy.
It looks out into the environment and tries its best to predict what is to come.
Will there be an abundant future or one of scarcity?
Good times, it invests into the future: Explore, build muscle, chase dreams, create novel things.
Bad times, it locks the vault: Conserve, store energy (fat), shut down anything that isn’t survival.
You don’t get a vote in this. Only the accountant does.
So the distracted, tired, soft version of you isn’t a malfunction. The accountant does not make mistakes. It's reading the environment and it's not impressed.
And look at what you're telling it. No sunlight. Trash sleep. Food built in a lab. A phone mainlining strangers' disasters into your eyes all day. Toxins in your water, your food, your air.
Why would an animal live like this unless it had to?
You’re screaming the tribe is starving and the end is near. Of course it's rationing you. It’s be insane not to.
You cannot out-discipline this shit. You'll lose.
The mind is strong but why work against yourself when you don’t have to?
The move is not more effort, it’s lowering the friction to do the things you know you should.
The reason you're stalling on your God-given journey is only partly because you're a bitch. The other half is your accountant, holding the line. So give it better times.
Dopamine function is what allows energy to be allocated up the scale of abstraction. From basic needs, to abstract ideas such as love and belonging all the way up to self-actualization.
Energy is vibration, it is vitality, it is Vrill. Remove the energy vampires both literally and metaphorically. This is the beauty of retardmaxxing while maintaining faith.
Let go of the idea of being perfect, of having shit figured out, of optimization. Do the basics, maintain the signal and attack. Move aggressively toward your sense of where you should go.
You have to fully accept that where you end up will be the place you were always meant to go.
So, let go and go.
