Re: Let them dopamine themselves to death
You miss the point though, people aren't going to get into situation where they all get together and say "Lets do a load of dopamine and get high!" they'll be fed interfaces and systems that addict them to the dopamine rush to keep them hooked on whatever platform that they are interacting with...
...which has of course already happened with social media and the flashing beeping device in our pocket that has people already in the throes of serious addiction.
What society can do about it, by legislating, is recognising that the corporations are using this to their advantage and to regulate them away from doing so now, and doing it worse in the future ("Come to Primark to experience the Pleasure Signal as you shop" and that assuming that they do it overtly, and not just secretly broadcasting euphoric signals within the confines of their premises on the quiet).
Even if criminals are offering dopamine 'drugs' the people who get involved with that have to make a positive decision to get involved, this 'war on dopamine tech' stops the entire populace from getting (further) caught up without even realising.
It's the difference between your water supplier being allowed to be able to put cocaine in your water or not.
