Low dopamine causes ADHD which is a disability but also a super power. Constantly seeking new stimulation can drive research and innovation, but what happens when a whole society is addicted to dopamine stimulation and we have no attention left to give?
Dopamine mediated desire and reward explains why when dopamine is reduced we increasingly show ADHD symptoms. We combine low motivation with frantic reward seeking due to low dopamine.
The Sumerians were ancient when the pyramids were built. Their religion and culture shaped ours, yet they were forgotten for 3,000 years.
