Avah’s Reviews > What Would You Do Alone in a Cage with Nothing but Cocaine?: A Philosophy of Addiction > Status Update

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.

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.
