I don’t see what you mean.
It’s easy to learn about a new elements and say “oh, it’s evil” but there is no evil protein, no cocaine gene or porn addiction transcription factor. There’s no useless stuff, the human body is a very efficient machine.
You need ΔFosB to not be a completely dysgenic fool. More of it is an awesome thing, you learn basketball, reading, driving or anything and you’ll need it to learn at a synaptic level and reinforce the behavior and adaptation. It releases growth factors, it coordinates skill-based wiring letting your neurones know who they work with in what way.
Jerking off to porn every night at 1am is a skill, habit neurologically speaking, it’s just very easy to learn and it’s very rewarding in the short term but it’s not this transcription factor’s fault if you or anyone else exposes themselves to garbage.
Garbage in, garbage out. But if you put good things in it, it put out great things. It’s more complicated than that.
This is from Berserker’s wrath, same family of transcription factors, these are crucial to learning and adaptation.
The human body is a marvel, but humans find ways to hack it with addictive drugs, proxy sexual intercourse, porns to get the high without the work and then these healthy mechanism turn into pit where you invest to get the high with shortcuts, overload yourself with reward, confusing the machine and you miss out on the benefits of achieving it the hard way with external fruit for your labor.
I’ll keep with the porn example, feeling and mimicking other people using mirror neurons is great for learning and empathy. It allows us to synchronize. And sex is good because that’s the only way to naturally keep the specie alive. If you don’t love sex, you don’t bother, you don’t reproduce and your genetic material disappears.
But humans found out that they can use technology to record 2 people having sex and use the same learning mechanism and reward to get the satisfaction from sex for billions of people at a time.
That’s just what it is.
The same strategy and learning abilities have allowed to invent the camera and internet that spread the porn. It’s not some mystical thing.
We invented cars to avoid walking. Using cars all the time makes you lazy and fat. Well, we invented porn to avoid having sex and still get the pleasure. You can rub one out and reduce your horniness in the short term while getting relaxation and pleasure.
