Years ago at church, in a discussion in a women’s group and after listening a while to all the usual comments on discouraging kids from drugs and alcohol my friend stood up and said “If you try to teach your kids that Everything about drugs is ‘bad’-if they try drugs they’re going to realize quickly that you don’t know what you’re talking about”. As these women started dragging their jaws off the floor, and with a couple sketchy looks her way, she said “I’m not gonna lie-drugs are fun! and they can feel good! You have to teach your kids the difference between fun or pleasure, and happiness”! I certainly never forgot it!

What I learned about brain chemicals when studying ADHD, depression, & addiction. Pleasure comes from immediate things, what dopamine does. Happiness comes from things that are not immediate but long term - what serotonin does. And when we do too many things for pleasure, it can have a negative effect on our brains.

[@mariacompton1416]

That is excellent !

[@phylis3917]

[@dickartist]

Attributing pleasure and happiness solely to monoamines is a huge oversimplification. It's an attractive idea to believe that we can just use a little bit of chemistry to understand and change ourselves, but that principle has made american psychiatry a joke. The brain knows its baseline and failing to integrate any psychological intervention will ultimately lead to a medicated patient feeling the same or worse than they did before treatment. ADHD can't be treated without rewarding discipline. Depression can't be treated without changing one's environment. Addiction can't be treated without both rewarding discipline and changing one's environment. Sure, meds might help with these, but ADHD meds without changes just make executive function worse, antidepressants without changes just make you comfortable in a bad environment, and medicating addiction without changes just leaves you with an itch that can't be scratched anymore. These three conditions are all great examples of exactly how behavioral health treatment in this country has failed because ADHD is mostly biopsychological, depression is mostly psychosocial, and addiction is mostly biopsychosocial, yet the treatment approach for all of them is too heavily reliant on physiology. Go deep enough into psychopharmacology and you'll see that monoamines are today's equivalent of the four humours.

Eventually I popped off w/ "want to spend 4-5 hrs a day in practice, want to miss 100% of every film, tv show.... even formal education that others view as a right while you sit in isolation and practice... It was then my mom reached over to smack me saying "Do Not Ever Speak Disrespectfully to Adults". My view was "well tell those adults to stop being ignorant".

[@debygiannioti4271]

That was a brilliant answer, too bad the adults weren't mature and wise enough to see it... I used to be honest as a child and it didn't go well so I learned how to keep my mouth shut. I am now retraining myself to speak my mind (but in a more respectful way).

This video is full of wisdom. I notice how often I hear people say something like, "I want to be a writer," yet they don't put their butt in the chair and write 1000 words every day. This confused me until I realized, they want to "be" a writer but they don't want to write; they just want the status and benefits of being perceived as writer. They don't actually have a passion for writing itself, nor do they make the necessary work a priority. This video also makes me think of Richard Feynman's story about "cargo cults" on islands where pre-industrial people did not understand airplanes landing on their island, bringing wonderful trade goods. When the planes stopped landing, they built fake airstrips and fake control towers out of palm trees and thatch. They hoped these symptoms of air travel would induce the men in the airplanes to come back.

2) SCORE! I will retain my hillbilly family who always seek to live with less. Sure, a sliding slope perhaps, but when was the last time you spent DAYS at a house or on a trail with over 73 cousins? I was there 2 weeks ago. A glass of buttermilk with raw onion and cornbread is better than any Michelin star rest. I know how to use outdoor "facilities" and at this point, prefer it. I know what it is like to haul water into the house. I can cook on a wood stove. I was expected to pursue God's plan for my life an outgrowth of "you are very smart, you can devour books, you need to go to uni, get a PhD and a great job" but I found was that my quiet grandparents who could barely sign their names were no less happy or intelligent than myself.

Many nights we go to bed having eaten only corn bread & raw onion in a glass of buttermilk *in Europe buttermilk is called Swedish milk*. We keep our own chickens mostly for eggs - given the price of eggs now that may sound like a better idea. Just know we eat bear, goat, deer(we know most consider that high class), rabbit, wild boar which is tough and gross. On hard days we may eat 0'possum which is very greasy. but hey, if anyone is willing let me know and you can have this experience for free. No Feds allowed. That's the rule.

It was haphazard, but we became a "hardcore Montessori" family where we didn't have a tv and my children grew up without toys made of plastic, anything primary colored, or printed with cartoon characters. The AMI Montessori curriculum defines success by altruistic and compassionate living. My children are teenagers now and attend public school. The long term result of this pedagogical upbringing does not produce smarter teenagers with better gpa's. It does produce happier teenagers who turn into happier adults. Redefining myself as a parent who focused on raising kind, self-assured, happy humans was the best decision I've ever made.

Thank you Chase. You can’t change physiology with psychology. I’m a reasonably intelligent person why hasn’t this occurred to me?

The happiness part I’m very focused on-I love happiness, pleasure is so momentary. Happiness from true contentment is incredible, no one can take it away.

The lawmakers and biggest voting population has cause blindness! I also refer to it as being micro thinkers. They never look from 35,000 feet to find the root cause of a problem and it's effects. They look at issues at grass blade level. You see the effects of that every day in the bluest cities and states. Homelessness, illegal migration, sending billions to Ukraine, crime, cost of living and the list goes on and on. They never solve a problem, they just cause more problems. They can't see it though, which is so scary and devastating.

I understood the point made, guess you didn't.

[@janiealexander9450]

It seems that allowing Russia to annex Crimea a few years ago made it easy for Russia to think that they could invade Ukraine and take it all. But the Ukrainians prepared for that possibility (after they lost Crimea) and fought back. This gave NATO countries (including the USA) the ability to consider that they could prevent Russia from deciding to take back the Balkan countries next and perhaps Finland, etc. So the billions that are being spent to help Ukraine are saving trillions that would have had to be spent stopping Russian expansion into Europe if they took Ukraine. Talking points about how expensive it is to back Ukraine are coming straight from Russian propaganda. Russian intelligence agencies are paying senators, representatives, justices, news agencies, and politicians to divide America regarding its commitment to protecting Ukraine. Protecting Ukraine is in the best interests of all anti-authoritarian modes of government.

[@nosoulnoproblem3368]

I thought about this when I had (?) an eating disorder - bulimia and later anorexia - and how people focus on the throwing up, the binge eating or starving or the being very skinny (which isn't always the case, especially with bulimia) even though the underlying cause, in my experience, for the behaviors and the effects of those behaviors, is an extreme desire for control, for being in control of SOMETHING because you feel powerless and very much like you aren't in control of ANYTHING. Your body, your routines (eating disorders require lots of planning and organizing), and how disciplined you can force yourself to be become the one thing in your life you feel you have a chance at being in control of. Yes, the being extremely skinny and malnourished and fainting or how the stomach acid hurts your teeth and throat are horrible, but they're not the cause and if you treat the symptoms without treating the cause, in my experience, you just replace the old symptoms with something new but the underlying cause is still there. May be you develop an addiction or obsessively do sports or you become a perfectionist workaholic. You find substitutes for the symptoms but the cause is still the same, still untreated, but you can say you don't suffer from an eating disorder anymore and people will think you're fine now, especially if the new symptoms are something society typically finds admirable like being a workaholic or being obsessed with sports. (possible I completely misunderstood the point 👀)

[@mnemetotoro]

You got it perfectly right. This resonates with my experience with an eating disorder (e.d.) too. People around me focusing on the external symptoms rather than the cause. Symptoms later changing from unacceptable (e.d) to accepted (in my case high achievements academically), so the cause was never prioritized and addressed, until it led to burn out. Not even then did professional psychiatrists focus on the cause, but focused on the symptoms (me not working) and saw the goal as getting me back to work, rather than helping me deal with the root cause. It's sad how the whole "health care" system runs on managing symptoms, to keep people dependent on drugs and services, rather than healing the wound and prevent disease. That realisation made me go to find my own answers. This problem, symptoms vs cause, sure is prevalent no matter what area of society one investigate. Be well and take care, wishing you all the best focusing on the cause.

Spot on, Chase! Very well said. Pursuing what one wants beyond what is needed, before achieving what is needed, is a fool's errand. Chasing fantasies in pursuit of happiness is exactly how folks (and nations) become drowned in debt. All the skids heading toward that "in debt" direction are meticulously greased by advertising barrages in our commercial society. There's no happiness there no matter what one "gets". Many slip into drug addiction (the ultimate fake happiness) before they can ever learn to spread their creative wings. What a waste of human potential. I suspect that the advertisers and creditors really don't care or even expect that credit purchases will somehow satisfy the buyer since, after all, it satisfies THEM and their clients.

I get confused with the goal of wanting and expecting “happiness” . My parents set an expectation of learning contentment. Happiness seems transitory. Contentment I can carry most of the time.

[@sarachadd178]

Jealousy is a direct result of these two lies. Wanting someone else's lifestyle for instant pleasure without knowing or caring how they achieved it. Whenever the truth of the actual cause (like hard work) starts to emerge, they make up stories to substantiate your "unworthiness." Yes, I'ved lived in this nest of vipers most of my life.

This explains why Meghan Markle (this causes the same effects as her narcissism does) keeps trying yet failing every time, the substance isn’t there *along with* other factors that prevent her from succeeding, like the fact that there’s no “product to sell” literally and figuratively. Some narcissists can gain money & fame due to others’ beliefs, but they have other things that go along with it like talent, etc.

0:16 - "Throughout your life ... your doctors and teachers ... your friends and even your coaches lied to you. But the sad part is they probably didn't know that they were (lying) because they were lied to as well." Did these people really lie to us? By definition, lying requires intent. Intent to deceive. To be a lie, a person must know what they are saying differs from what they know to be the truth. Lying is a conscious choice. Who believes their doctors, teachers, friends and coaches all made conscious choices to pass along information they knew to be false? Either this behavioral expert doesn't know what constitutes a lie or he is lying about people lying. What ever gets clicks, i guess.

That’s irrational, and just story telling, no actual reality or help is produced. The Bible invents causes, that’s why it fails for thousands of years, while rational thought solves actual problem.

That is the biggest load of BS I've ever heard. You clearly don't know anything about psychology, and that there are a lot of people who are setup to be unhappy. When everything in their life is going great, they're still sad. Everyday is a constant struggle to just be okay. What you should do instead of assuming everyone is just like you, is be thankful you are not like them.

Or that retardation isn't a natural anomaly that your God has always given people. Some people have brains that do not correctly regulate emotions. You were "blessed" with a mind that apparently does this fine, you just don't have any other perspective but that.

I agree mostly, with the person who says we can choose to be happy in life. There is a book that has helped me a lot, "A Guide to Rational Living." Albert Ellis, Robert Harper, 1961. Chapter 1, How Far Can You Go With Self-therapy? 2. You Largely Feel the Way You Think. 3. Thinking Well by Thinking Straight. 4. How You Create Your Feeling. 5. Thinking Yourself Out of Emotional Disturbances. The book goes on to 23 chapters. There are other programs like this one with the same type of thinking.

Super-interesting. I quit smoking cold turkey but mentally craved it for almost 3 years afterward--meaning the whole ritual aspect of smoking.

Don't know if that makes sense. Anyway, very interesting, Chase--fascinating topic.

[@MrSackisolo]

I agree with your point about pleasure, not with that on happiness. To me, happiness is silent stupidity. Happiness is bad. I rather believe in creativity, in creative dissatisfaction.

How exactly does that help someone who has dopamine or serotonin deficiency? Especially those that have no underlying physiological reasons? Or worse, people who have incurable underlying physiological reasons like Parkinson's, or people who are on medication because they are genetically predisposed to high cholesterol. There's a lot of people in this country who struggle everyday just to be okay, even when everything in their life is going right. You should be thankful you don't know what that's like. You act like psychology is somehow blown out of proportion in this country, when it is by far and away the element of Health that this country cares the least about.

[@FailFries]

Regarding the importance of changing the cause rather than the symptoms, I also believe, 100%, that you must change the cause, and agree that changing the symptoms without changing the cause is worthless. But I'd like to get your thoughts on the benefits of using a "feed back loop" to produce the desired changes. My belief is that there are some benefits to "faking" the symptoms, used only as a tool, to help chip away at the core issue. And that little bit of change can then produce more positive symptoms. Like the "Fake it till you make it" idea. For example, in your opinion, would it be beneficial to physically, or outwardly, fake some of the symptoms of confidence as a way to "fool" your brain temporarily. I have in mind studies which state that physically changing position can change brain chemistry/mood. I do admit that I don't know the validity of these studies with any degree of certainty. I understand that the idea may be one of those unproven claims which get repeated over and over by Joe Shmoes like me. But with that general idea in mind, couldn't a "faked" symptom, repeated for a long enough period of time, become a habit, which could, in turn, have a possitive effect on the brain/cause. And along those same lines, the projecting of the fake "symptoms" out into the world could possibly attract more positivity into the loop, in the form of positive human contact , which could also, over time, chip away at that negative self view. In addition, with more positivity being fed into the loop, couldn't that encourage one to continue the hard work needed to change the root cause of the symptoms? I personally believe that the two parts are two sides of the same equation. They go hand in hand and reinforce one another. But I'd love to hear your take on this. Or maybe I completely misunderstood your point..(As one of those people with low confidence, along with major ADHD, I never discount that as a possibility. ) If I'm totally off track, I'd love to know that as well. Thanks! Btw...I've run out of time to proofread this so I apologize for any confusing statements or glaring grammatical/spelling mistakes. Sorting this jumbled mess of a brain into something that can ("Possibly, maybe. Probably not.") be understood by others, is time consuming to say the least. 😆 Thanks!
