He's right - that phrase evokes what he means better than many alternatives.

But this feels like an article where you get all the useful info in the title. The rest is just a rant about the modern internet being bad for your brain.

i got much more out of it and it's intelligently written

I see this structure:

* introduce dopamine fracking

* the wonderful strawberry analogy to what we loose, personally, by giving in to the substitue for the real thing

* how they (the author) managed to in baby steps turn down attempts at fracking _their_ dopamine: through awareness of what's happening and what were missing because of it

so until there is some bigger scale solution, we can at least self regulate.

and overall the article is a positive note in difficult times.

I especially loved the strawberry analogy.

		I agree with you, also about the strawberry analogy. I was quite surprised to read that author is 22 years old. So many young smart people around!

		Same here, I enjoyed it too. A lot of people are nitpicking on the strawberry analogy, but there is certainly something to be said about the commodification of everything.
