  • Peter Drucker famously said if I want to know what you believe I could ask you what you

  • believe and maybe I'll believe your answer.

  • But show me your calendar and your bank statement and then I'll really know what's going

  • on.

  • And what we tried to calculate was the altered state economy.

  • How much time and money do people spend trying to change the channel on normal waking consciousness

  • and unlock these heightened states of information.

  • We did a global calculation.

  • We looked everywhere from elicit to licit drugs which is an obvious place to start but

  • we also looked at things like pornography and social media where the neurochemical reward

  • you're getting from these experiences is very similar to the neurochemical reward you're

  • getting in these states.

  • At the heart of a lot of this is the chemical dopamine.

  • Dopamine is a focusing drug.

  • It's a performance enhancing drug and it's a pleasure drug.

  • It is also incredibly, incredibly, incredibly addictive.

  • Porn addiction is very much about dopamine, right.

  • If you think about porn from an evolutionary point of view our sex drive is about procreation.

  • We're not getting any of that from porn.

  • We're not watching porn for what it makes us feel sexually.

  • We're watching porn for what it does to us mentally.

  • It changes our state of consciousness.

  • It gets us high and it's the dopamine that is getting us high.

  • It's knocking outside of normal waking consciousness and it's lifting us up to a heightened state.

  • Unfortunately porn on demand tends to be very, very addictive and people get into a downstream

  • cycle with it.

  • We see the same thing with social media, right.

  • Simon Sinek famously says if you wake up in the morning and you're checking your phone

  • before you're saying hello to your spouse that's an addictive behavior.

  • And it's dopamine that is driving that addiction.

  • So what happens with social media is Robert Sapolsky who did the foundational research

  • on this at Stanford calls it the magic of maybe.

  • When you look at your phone and maybe there's a text there and maybe there's not and you

  • don't know.

  • When it shows up that high you get, that's dopamine.

  • It's the magic of maybe.

  • Maybe it'll be there, maybe it won't.

  • When it shows up you get a 400 percent spike in dopamine.

  • That is roughly the same amount of dopamine as you're getting from cocaine.

  • It's slightly less than an extremely addictive drug like cocaine.

  • And that's what's happening.

  • And it's interesting because if you think about things that routinely produce a lot

  • of dopaminealcohol, for example.

  • There's a drinking age, right.

  • We have a drinking age.

  • Alcohol releases a whole lot of dopamine.

  • It makes you feel really, really good.

  • We say okay, you can have that but you've got to wait.

  • You've got to be 21 years old.

  • We don't do that with online pornography.

  • We might want to do it with online pornography.

  • We don't do that with social media.

  • We're essentially putting highly addictive drugs into the hands of kids before they have

  • any natural defenses against them.

  • And what you're seeing with internet addiction, with social media addiction, with porn addiction

  • is the same thing over and over.

  • It's people trying to change their state of consciousness with a device.

  • Trying to get at the underlying neurochemistry and it's very, very addictive.
