The rats in the experiment are high serotonin.
Serotonin is the natural break of the body.
The function I believe is that it tells the body, whatever you are doing it is not working.
I may have given you freaking a lot of dopamine in the past for this behaviour.
But I think we should stop.
I'm stressed out for months, this is going to kill us.
I think the best thing to do now is inactivity.
If you think you get rewarded by whatever, I will make so much serotonin, that you won't feel this dopamine.
Let's stop reacting, let's stop exploring, it doesn't help us.

However, modern humans don't stop reacting.
It is too easy and with low energy cost to go on the internet.
Watch videos.
Play games.
They don't stop.
Our natural break is gone.

If you are high serotonin.
Just stop doing stuff.
Go on holiday.
Go lay in the sun.
Close your eyes, while hearing the sounds of the waves.
Eat healthy.
This will cure high serotonin in a very short period if you ask me.
When reactivity goes onto obsession it's going wrong. I too have experienced obsessive desires to read new content etc, while I knew I rather had to take a break.
Like you say, the best thing to do is go out and relax in the sun during a holiday. No technology allowed.

Don't get me wrong.
I like your ideas.
And agree with much.

But I have to ask.
Is there a reason you're writing in stanzas?
Just a curious mind.
Looking for a dopamine hit.

Surely it is more reductionistic to be able to boil any conversation down to serotonin than it is for biology's central dogma to correlate phenomena with genes...

Equating 'always exploring' to having low dopamine is something I can't agree with. I would argue that feeling generally at-ease yet determined and stimulated with what you are working on is a sign of having a healthy dopamine system. I think being uninspired by novelty (not getting any buzz from it) and therefor not having any urge to explore is actually much more a symptom of low dopamine (or lacking in dopamine receptors). Having some drive to do or explore something novel, because you feel rewarded for that is part of having a healthy dopamine system, while having to keep reaching more grandiose levels for the same buzz effect would link somewhat to building a dopamine resistance. There must be an interplay of neuro transmitters that are responsible for signaling intellectual satiety... I doubt that is very exclusively a dopamine issue, maybe that has more to do with gaba?? Anyway, I know when I take something like Mucuna or DLPA, my theme quickly becomes one of 'let's go out and learn and build and complete tasks', and back when I was foolish enough to supplement tryptophan I would feel like 'why bother'.

As for other sites, I've always enjoyed ergo-log.com
