Thanks so much to Johann Hari for collaborating with us on the video!
Definitly check out his book if you liked the video – it is filled with
sources and fascinating stories. www.chasingthescream.com?<br>The war on drugs. The war on drugs never changes.?<br>We tried something new this month, together with Moby Digg (close friends
that run an interactive design studio). An interactive version of this
video: http://www.addiction.mobydigg.de – tell us how you like it. We will
probably do stuff like that from time to time to explore what is possible
with interactives. (This will NOT lead to less video output). Say hi to
Moby Digg here: http://www.mobydigg.de?<br>I was a drug addict before, people hate me, I didn't go to any rehab and
one day I decided to change my life then I found this one environment, a
society which I fell in love with the people.. made me truly happy, my life
has completely changed, got my master degree! got my life back! and for
those who don't like or hate people out there, don't worry! you'll find the
right people/environment sooner or later. and you'll be happy that you have
friends/relationship with other people! :)?<br>is that Rick Sanchez at 1:14 ??<br>This is, of course, partly true, but saying there is no physiological
aspect of addiction is so beyond ignorant. Try convincing all those people
who have/had great lives the only reason they couldn't stop
smoking/drinking or doing drugs is because they weren't living fulfilling
enough lives.?<br>What if you have a fundamental inability to connect with other human
beings? Are you just screwed then? Honestly, in the long run interacting
with other people only brings me misery and stress. I actually feel far
happier and freer when I am isolated and have my environment to myself.?<br>So I can take heroin for 20 days??<br>This is the most constructive video about addiction i have ever seen. i am
a recovering heroin user myself and this what has been told in this video
is true to the bone.?<br>Unless you play call of duty. You're screwed.?<br>1:14
Rick and Morty. OoO?<br>I read that Alexanders' experiment was questionable and his peers could not
reproduce his purported results.?<br>But.. I'm addicted to playing video games, but I have really close
relationships with friends. (not that dirty minded people)
D;?<br>I am against the so called war on drugs, but Kurzgesagt disappointed me
with this video... You cannot just deny the tons of evidence that shows the
relationship between drugs (and some other things) and the brain's reward
center. Instead you focus on one guy, whose controversial experiments have
mostly been rejected by the scientific community. Alexander is even sort of
contradicting himself. First, he claims there are 4 kinds of addiction and
then he focuses his entire work on just one of those.
I agree that the war on drugs has made nothing better, but denying science
because you're frustrated about that, is no good.
* Edit: OK, I did some more research and it turns out there might be some
truth to this, although more work is needed for proof. But that's the
scietific approach - be skeptical of big claims at first. And if the
evdence points away from your position - you change your position. No need
to argue with facts.?<br>Then I´m screwed. I live in this city cause of my boyfriend´s job, turn out
I don´t like the city, and I don´t get along with the people on it, I have
no friends here and I don´t have a job. Prity cool.?<br>This video talks mostly about psychological addiction. If you actually
studied the science behind some drugs you'll discover the existence of
chemical addiction. This video is just subliminally glorifying drug use.?<br>as a recovering alcoholic and addict who grew up in the richest suburb in
the US with a great family/friends I find all of what they're saying to be
a bit much. Too many grandiose claims made about how a community will keep
me sober. Lol. I don't really think that's necessarily the case, even with
a supportive family and community I was still using every day and would
have killed myself if I had not gotten in the program. This seems
contradictory to the video, but sobriety seems to be the only option for
many of us alcoholics and addicts out there. It will definitely help to
have people be supportive regarding addiction but at the end of the day,
people being nice to me will not stop me from using.?<br>Recreational drugs??<br>FUCKING AMAZING!!!!! fuck. Fucking Is Connection?<br>The video could also be called:
"What uneducated people think about addiction"
Ps:
a lot of patients get addicted to pain medication.?<br>but here the rats in rat park never got addicted in the first place. like
they tried water heroine but never got hooked on it. I wonder if you
transfered already addicted rats to rat parc if they would stop drinking
heroine.?<br>You know, i allways wonderd why is it that when im around friends and when
we do fun shit, i dont have much of a want to smoke. id still like a drink
sometimes but sometimes i compleatly forget about it.?<br>UM..... UM...... HELP?<br>Any one else notice the tardis from doctor who??<br>oh shit videogames have the same effect on me?<br>OH NO
DRUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?<br>That's why psychedelics are so good to cure addiction, they make you
connect with nature and everyone around. #LegalizePsychedelics
#LegalizeMarijuana?<br>This! THIS!!! A THOUSAND TIMES THIS! You've put so eloquently in a video
what I've been saying for years... granted, I was not as concerned with
drugs as I was with sex offenders, but the whole idea of how to deal with
addictions in general is right on point. It was easy to see the irony with
sex offenders... you have lonely, sexually frustrated people acting out,
and society's solution is to... *drum roll*... isolate them further. This
realization makes it really simple (albeit not easy) to check oneself: Am I
truly enjoying this thing I am doing, and will it ultimately facilitate
healthy relationships? Or am I depending on this thing to "unplug" from
life.?<br>RICK FROM RICK AND MORTYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?<br>This video is actually based on ted talk.... Am I alone to notice that??<br>We should just get rid of all drugs including weed because I know you fools
out there like that shit fuck you?<br>whats fucking hilarious is this is what NA has been saying since day 1 in
its inception in 1953. You need a support group to help change your "cage."
This might be groundbreaking evidence for some non addicts but this has
been a used solution for over 50 years...?<br>How do the physical reactions to drugs work then? This does not cover the
obvious physical part of addiction. I should know due to my crazy caffeine
consumption.?<br>This is pretty much an animated an re-narrated video of this TED talk
https://www.ted.com/talks/johann_hari_everything_you_think_you_know_about_addiction_is_wrong?language=en
I assume Johann Hari works with In a Nutshell? Or they both use the exact
same script from a 3rd source!?<br>Can you please explain the greek economic crisis in a nutshell??<br>I honestly think this is bullshit. I've been trying to get off my
prescription narcotics for the past year after three years on them. Not
sure why my doctors kept prescribing me them for chronic pain. But I want
so bad to get off all of them. I am almost off them all. However, during
withdrawals I am the biggest bitch and I don't understand how someone
doesnt experience withdrawals. I can see 21 days, but years??<br>Disconnection with humanity? Disconnection with God, our creator, humanity
has lost the most healing connection of all. Without the line to Christ
our souls turn to substances in search to fill our empty hearts.?<br>very good vid man?<br>Maybe it is because of trying to explain things in a friendly and simple
way, but this seems like a very reductionist explanation.
Which is very unfortunate, considering that if anything the Rat Park
experiment contributed to people considering a more holistic and complex
view of addiction. And yet, here you are, crippling that in favor of
another simplistic stance.
Nevermind that attempts to reproduce the Rat Park experiments have failed
to reproduce results of the magnitude or consistency you hail. Nevermind
the ever-increasing reacreational and social drug use. Nevermind the
rampant use and addiction to prescription drugs. Nevermind the tested and
obvious differences in the addictive potential of different substances.
Nevermind the sometimes huge differences in needs for social interaction
between different people. Nevermind different genetic and physiological
patterns that show a high correlation with addiction and drug abuse.
Nevermind a long etcetera. Because having a simplified and cute answer that
can make us feel good and give us an illusion of control over incredibly
complex issues is always and by far the best thing. No matter if it doesn't
match reality, right??<br>Beautiful,...nice job guys.?<br>TARDIS AT 3:05?<br>For the love of science, don't blame "the war on drugs" for there being
addicts. Let's imagine every single drug going legal and ending the so
called "war". Making these substances more accessible and justifying the
use and abuse of said substances in counter intuitive when striving for a
society with less substance addiction. You can strengthen the healthcare,
not least the psycho therapeutic department, in many ways without opening
the flood gates of drugs.?<br>i dont have any friends.. anybody got any heroin??<br>So by your logic, addiction is caused by having no friends. So I could be a
great socialite, and therefore I would not ever be addicted to a drug,
because I have friends. If this sounds nonsensical, it is. Addiction is
caused by a rise of dopamine in the brain when on the drugs, then having
that level go down once the crash happens, but the dopamine levels in your
brain decrease from normal, so psychologically you want more. This cycle
keeps happening until being high means being normal, and then some.
It's not sociological, it's psychological?<br>I saw rick?????????????????????????????????????<br>This makes little sense to me. Not that it is wrong because of that, but
still.
I was given to understand that addiction was formed because the drug
targeted your pleasure center of the brain. Heroin causes your brain to
produce dopamine in elevated amounts. To compensate, your brain produces
less when you are off the drug, so after a while, you literally cannot feel
happy without it. Cold turkey heroin withdraws (if you are deep enough)
will kill you,because your body has become dependent on the drug to
function. You must slowly ween off of it.
I have known of many people to become addicted to prescription painkillers.
My friend plays cello and football and has a wonderful life. Out of a knee
surgery, the gave him Vicodin for the pain. he was able to get off taking
it, but not before reporting withdraw symptoms. He is just fine, but the
problem still stands. I was given to understand a model of the brain, with
addiction factored in. This video is contrary to that model.
I was also given to understand that in the Civil war, Morphine was given to
patients without knowledge of its full effects. The patients were not
properly and slowly backed down, and many suffered ill effects.
So, my question is how does this idea in the video fit into the nearly
certain fact of the way dopamine interacts with drugs??<br>But you can also get addicted to a person... that could sometimes be much
worse than heroine :(?<br>what if i'm addicted to my hobbies,am i living in cage??<br>hey in a nutshell what if I donate 1000 dolar per month wht do I get??<br>This is part BS. What about Delirium Tremens. This is a very dangerous and
real effect, which can lead to death. You telling me this is all in one's
head? Dangerous grounds?<br>Came for Rick, stayed for the pretty interesting video. <br>It's a very good channel, you might also like [The School of Life](https://www.youtube.com/user/schooloflifechannel) as it is pretty similar<br>My man! Both are wonderful channels. <br>Same<br>I too came for Rick. Although I think you mean something different <br>That one that was posted yesterday ended up making me watch every episode on that channel. Really great content.<br>I did the same. To think it takes over a 100 hours to complete each one is crazy.<br>There was one that mentioned 200 hours as well; I can believe it considering they basically source everything, the animation is clean and fantastic, and all the researching they must do probably takes ages.<br>turns out i'm addicted to 5 of those 6 things.<br>Who would have thought that doing heroin would be a way to cope with being in the Vietnam.<br>This was posted before, but not only that, this was the exact same top comment. I had thought that I had gone back in reddit time for a good minute there.<br>phrasing<br>I love that reddit is an addiction....<br>Upvoated because I can't stop.<br>Exercise your right to voat!<br>[Motorvoat](http://img.pandawhale.com/49352-Terry-Crews-upvote-gif-E9ZK.gif)<br>I've come for my daily dose... of 7 hours.<br>I had seen this one, what other video does he appear in?<br>Quantum Computing, same creators<br>No he doesn't, they just make a reference to the Gear Wars.
Pretty sure this is the first and only appearance of Rick in this video series.<br>[For the lazy](https://youtu.be/JhHMJCUmq28?t=2m30s)<br>I guess it was just an assumption that the left was rick and the right was morty, must of got confused<br>What can you tell me about the Gear Wars? <br>First of all, they weren't even about gears.<br>Great! Hadn't seen that one.<br>Old news. ^^ I'm too much on the internet. D:<br>go make some connections<br>┬┴┬┴┤ ͜ʖ ͡°) ├┬┴┬┴<br>That's a good idea. But to do that, I need to go outside. That is scary!<br>South Park's devil explained it better IMO
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML2aQTn_1Ao<br>To me it's a combination of both what South Park said and Johann Hari's book (adapted to OP's video). They compliment each other magnificently.<br>Right, in 'Rat Park' dopamine gets supplied by natural and healthy sources. <br>Why would people want to take drugs, just because they're there?
Nah, people do it to fill voids, to make connections, and once they abuse the substance they're trying to fill their hole with then you get the dopamine imbalance and it gets worse.
Very simplistic to think it's an either/or perspective. <br>Shouldn't it be pancreas problems?<br>This guy's channel is so amazing you learn a lot just from a few minutes of fun animation! Support this guy subscribe! <br>Seriously. One of the better youtube channels out there. Also subscribe to CGP Grey if you haven't already.<br>Their newest video has a reference to the Gear Wars too<br>That video had a 17 minute ad before it played. I noped right out of there after 5 seconds. <br>An *unskippable* 17 minute ad?<br>That would be hell<br>adblock/ublock if not on mobile. makes life so much better<br>Then close page and try again?<br>Man I've blocked 750,000 ads with my ublock. <br>Is there a unlock for Android or something? Cause I'm on my phone. <br>There are adblockers for andriod, dk about ublock though. <br>Ghostery browser stops cross-site scripting...which has the side effect of blocking almost all ads.<br>Rick appears as a scientist at 1:14-1:16.<br>nice repost<br>A couple buddies and I saw this a couple days ago and freaked out when we saw it lol<br>This has been posted and was possibly the first educational video he was in. <br>
