Sometimes Swayze
kills you with
broken window glass
because you killed him first,
asshole

is a rockin'
then god's come
a knocking

Yea, sometimes God cometh around, and He knocketh thee down.

Sometimes God hits you with a rock.

Sometimes you rocks the God, and sometimes the God rocks you.

I always have the urge to re-upload these with: "Chief Advisor To Nicolae Ceaușescu" underneath.

Not a jpeg meme or whatever, but are all you guys seeing this story shared I dunno 3 or 4 times a week for the last month?

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/johann-hari/the-real-cause-of-addicti_b_6506936.html

^ "this one weird trick will solve society's drug addiction problems". entire article peddles a false premise that the cause of addiction must be a single simple thing, rather than a complex of interrelated things.

tbf "lack of human connection" is a complex of interrelated things

tbemf, "unhappiness" is an even larger complex of interrelated things, but that would seem to drive nearer to the truth than just "lack of human connection".

they're the same thing afaict

if that were so, then love would never make us unhappy.

no

article seems ok to me; even if it isn't the most nuanced thing in the world anything that promotes rehabilitation over punishment re drug use is doing good.

you are right. I did not form my statement correctly to make my point. I'll try again.

if unhappiness and a lack of human connection are the same thing, then unhappiness could not exist in the presence of a human connection. Love between humans is a variety of human connection. Incidentally, so is hate between two humans. If unhappiness is possible when you are connected to other humans through love or hate or some other vital emotional connection, then unhappiness is not "the same thing" as lack of human connection.

Less drily, I love my daughter very deeply and we have a strong bond. She was born with a massive range of physical and mental deficits and suffers frequent seizures. In spite of the happiness my connection with my daughter brings to me, there have been many times in my life when that deep bond of love was accompanied by a despair so palpable that I sometimes hoped either she or I would die so there could be an end to my unhappiness. This also was a time I was self-medicating with alcohol in order to relieve some of that unhappiness through numbness and I was closest to falling into addiction.

Because of this experience, I do not equate unhappiness with a lack of deep and meaningful human connection.

that is getting way too complex, throwing love into the mix (what is love etc). i think the point that greater and more dynamic connectedness makes addiction less addictive for people is solid if not rock-solid because ultimately it is a complex maybe unprovable hypothesis that that article wants to present as simple (which is what is annoying fb bait about it imo). but in general i agree with it, at least i find it more convincing than pathologizing addiction and turning it into something completely internal or genetic.

xp i see what you mean.

i kind of agree with you Aimless but you're argument is cheating - to say "unhappiness is lack of human connection" doesn't imply that happiness = human connection, but only, perhaps, that human connection is a necessary tho not sufficient condition for happiness

"you're argument" ?? you get me, anyway

i do think that the possibility/option of human connection is probably necessary for long-term happiness

probably there are ppl for whom happiness is attainable w/out any human connection (some ppl probably preferring a hermit-style life?) but i imagine for the vast majority of humans...

the main thesis here that lack of human connection is a primary factor leading to drug/gambling addiction isn't a bad one

i wonder if it's possible to enjoy hermitage without the context of bustly human society to get away from
