podcast with an anthropologist in Mexico City
I didn't realize that "love as an addiction" of co-dependency is "trending" right now... wow. It seems all of reality must be put through the Big Pharma cheese grater.
both "binge drinking" and "routine moderate drinking" are considered addictions yet both are interwoven with social dynamics... to relax after working hard...
If you want quality sleep - you are DEPENDENT on BEING QUIET to help settle your brain to turn serotonin into melatonin....
Why is one dependence worse than another if we are still dependent on a certain mental state of being quiet?.... Being quiet is actually allowing the foundation of reality to resonate in our brains and soul - nonlocality as noncommutativity....
The mental FEAR of Dependency can be worse than dependency itself since otherwise we are materialistic people dependent on material biochemical solutions.
The point of addiction is not being in control and embracing being out of control.... but the FEAR of Dependency reflects the NEED to be in control....
Kidney is fear in TCM due to glutamate processing in the brain - and left-brain dominance represses the subconscious kidney fear....
Kidney fear is tied to UNconscious trauma as pain in the brain - damage to the dopamine neurons in the hippocampus....
Glutamate is activated as a co-transmitter in dopamine (DA) processing primarily within the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and its projection terminals in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) shell... Glutamate is thought to assist in loading DA into synaptic vesicles via VGLUT2, increasing the density of DA release.

So GABA drugs that increase GABA activation like alcohol and Benzos - cause the body to stop naturally producing GABA....
Caffeine increases glutamate via the adenosine receptor agonist....
Glutamate is activated or released in conjunction with adenosine processing primarily in the extracellular space of the central nervous system (CNS), particularly during high-frequency neuronal activity, metabolic stress, or injury....Adenosine acts as a neuromodulator that regulates glutamate levels through a homeostatic feedback loop involving neurons and astrocytes...During high-frequency neuronal activity, ATP is co-released with glutamate. This ATP is converted into adenosine by extracellular nucleotidases, which then binds to A1 or A2A receptors to regulate further glutamate release.....During injury, high levels of extracellular glutamate are produced, which subsequently enhance extracellular adenosine production, leading to A2A-mediated excitotoxicity....adenosine A1 receptor activation acts as a negative feedback mechanism, blocking the initial release of glutamate induced by hypertonic stress
The anthropologists point is that the social cohesion role of dependency is more important than the individual isolation of not being dependent - such that dependency is a cultural cohesion that overrides the individual control of isolation....
But that above dynamic ignores the truth of quantum nonlocality as the foundation of reality....
coffee can raise cholesterol, but primarily when it is unfiltered. Natural oils in coffee beans...capsaicin in cayenne lowers bad cholesterol....
"We overdose often because we are alone...because we isolate people so much..."
Fasting or a special diet can be a collective thing....but people in the U.S. - "middle class" - spend a lot of time alone.... Everyone is addicted to something....
In terms of Mahayana Buddhism we could argue that "being quiet" or hypofrontal syndrome is a left-brain addiction to logical inference that is not falsifiable inherently... it reifies logic over the empirical realm of matter. Yet if all of matter is made of photons then consciousness as spirit inherently creates new matter also....
