Does Simplicity produce laziness? Does Dopamine hinder ones focus?

DisillusionedCitizen · Sep 27, 2022

I've been wondering and hypothesizing about this for some time; my suspicions were something along the lines of this: The more simple people makes, the lazier people will be, and the more complicated things end up for people. I'm suspecting that, with everything being simplified, people are being dumbed down. Does this apply to everything, or to a few, specific cases?

Another question I have specifically in regards to Dopamine. I seriously suspect that the Jews are exploiting this. Ursa Minor mentioned in the post Pornography is a Drug https://ancient-forums.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=77006&p=383189&hilit=Dopamine#p383189 that the mechanism behind Dopamine, (doing things that make you feel high) can be "tricked into living an unhealthy lifestyle." Secondly, Darkpagan notes that our society has been bombarded with "reward systems" in the post Mindless Behaviors (https://ancient-forums.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=77570&p=387226&hilit=Dopamine#p387226). I want to expand on this concept a little more; is it possible that the Jews are using "life accomplishments" to distract everyone in the United States (and possibly towards other states)? I feel that this, in combination of ignorance and stupidity, creates something very unpleasant.

I do agree with simplicity producing laziness.

I've read somewhere it said that the brain will always want to take the shortest route to maximize energy efficiency.

When abused, I guess it leads them to become lazy and slowly make them too comfortable in their zone to not want to try. So I guess that's one reason.

So to counter it, you'd prob want to go from passive thinking to active thinking when it comes to important things.

I've even noticed in myself that I am mostly thinking passively and not giving effort. It actually made me feel dumber but that is just how I feel.

Though recently, I tried to revert it with runes and working on thinking actively on important things and I'd say that it brings me more clarity on things and I could actually feel that I am improving intellectually.

Not strictly true. Being able to simplify is the truest sign of intelligence. Look at the work that the clergy has done, which is an extraction of what the gods have done by simplifying natural laws and concepts from beyond our understanding by wrapping them in stories and artwork(mythology) and meditation practices. They speak to the part of us that has no words, for even the part of us that does is often left speechless when it comes to the divine. You can't simplify any more than direct experience.

Doctors can simmer complex processes down and give their patients relatable and practical advice and give them a clear picture of what is going on, no matter their education level.

Wise old men have lived experience and a few words from them can carry more meaning and weight in one's life than any number of tomes from academics and scholars.

Simplification is in human nature, it's how we learn and it's necessary to advance. Simplification is part of thinking outside the box. You can think deep without thinking convoluted.

Intellectualism for its own sake is masturbation.

Okay, simplification is human nature, but in what areas do simplicity fail? It can't succeed every time it's practiced.

In a sense this can be true, but at the same time this statement is false. I guess that you can say it depends from person to person, inherently it is not a bad thing to simplify, i would even argue that everything that is seen and done is by its core is laughably simple.

Understanding the core meaning of anything is the key to getting a deep understanding of said subject, once this has been achieved it gets easier to go more in depth and understand the more ''complex'' parts of it. Simplification can also cause creativity to blossom and it can be positive in many other ways.

Simplicity can be used to be lazier, but this is a problem with the person and not caused by simplicity itself.
