i appreciate the very clear and understandable explanation of the moral implications behind the “brain disease” model of addiction, which i’ve sort of understood for a while now but could never articulate like this.

finally on the ethics & relationship part which is the part i have been most excited for & also what i thought the entirety of the book would be about . NOT COMPLAINING!

it’s interesting that the temporal aspect of the psychological rational for drug use and addiction is regularly translated into terms of physical distance ie local vs global bookkeeping

if i was a rat addicted to cocaine and the scientist in charge of me offered a choice between cocaine and 2 minutes play time with oomf OF COURSE i would play with oomf. thats not even surprising to me

if you are a college graduate who “misses school” this book will scratch that itch i promise. comprehensive, textbook prose, and AT LEAST the first quarter is so semantically pedantic it feels exactly like required reading. just pick this up before you start looking at grad school apps please.
