A study had 67 people who havent eaten in atleast 3 hours, walk into a room with a bowl of chocolate chip cookies, and the other bowl filled with radishes. half were told that they had to eat the radishes, and the other could eat the cookies.
After that they were told to solve a impossible puzzle. The people who ate the radishes gave up in 8 minutes and the people who ate the cookies gave up in 19 minutes while the control group gave up in 21 minutes.

Make a list of what you use your willpower on, figure out how to not spend valuable willpower on useless junk by cutting it out completely or other by other methods.

Everything is finite : our time, our energy, our motivation etc

Even our ability to feel pleasure is limited by our brain who doesn't give a fuck if we're happy or not

Intermittent dopamine fasting is mandatory nowadays

Once you've identified your priorities, work on turning them into habits. Habits require less willpower over time as they become automatic. Focus on creating positive routines that align with your goals.

this

muh this drug releases 5000000000000% more dopamine than sex :soy:

your brain is incapable of experiencing pleasure above a level, bigger pleasure simply doesnt exist. in such cases of huge neutrotransmitters imbalance it does other stuff that counteract it. close ur receptors, make u pass out / vomit , die etc until things are regulated

brains dont have some untapped secret area that gives near infinite joy kek. the brain doesnt actually care about our pleasure, in fact pleasure doesnt exist or is massively weak. our brains keep us deluded in chasing these pleasures in order to survive

Where and how do you find these studies?
and how did you come up with this question?
 
Why am I so close to the devil then? How do I get away from him?
Be with god as much as you can and good things will start happening. Positive thoughts help. Stay away from comparison. Love yourself.

“just think positive bro”
Nah truth is I believe God created both hood AND evil
Satan didn’t just become evil God must have created that
Same thing with some people they are meant to be close to the devil even if they don’t want to

Synthetic dopamine is widespread tho, u get it from doing a mission in a game, getting an updoot, music or cooming to corn. All online and irrelevant, you’ve achieved nothing yet your brain rewards you. Supposed to get it through real life experiences - sex, compliments, promotions

People become evil as a result of how they were raised typically. A professor did a study to find who on his roll were psychopaths, he found one. It turned out to be himself, despite this he had a great life. Loving family, good career and finances

The control group didn’t eat either, so they represent the ‘normal’ state of a group

I guess this is a good arguement for something like GLP-1 agonists, spend less willpower on cutting. Perhaps the same for stimulants for studying etc.
