Скачать или смотреть The Psychology of Scrolling Addiction (It’s Not Dopamine)

This video explores the neurobiology and psychology behind the compulsion to endlessly scroll, moving beyond the simple label of 'laziness' to reveal the mechanisms of modern attention.

Key topics covered in this video:
Why dopamine is actually a chemical of anticipation, not pleasure.
The 'variable reward schedule' used by platforms to mimic slot machines.
The Default Mode Network and why silence is essential for self-reflection.
How 'boredom intolerance' changes the physical structure of your focus.

In this study of the attention economy, viewers will learn why their digital habits feel out of control and how to reclaim their presence by redesigning their relationship with stillness and stimulation.

It’s 2:17 a.m. The room is silent, yet your mind is screaming. You aren’t enjoying the content. You aren’t learning anything new. But your thumb keeps moving because stopping feels more painful than continuing.

We have been taught to call this a lack of discipline, but a darker story is unfolding beneath the surface of your screen. Your brain has been hijacked by a loop it did not choose—one that treats boredom like a threat and stillness like an enemy.

What are you actually avoiding when you pick up your phone? The screen is a numbing agent, but when the light fades, the person you’ve been avoiding is still there in the dark. Watch to discover what happens to a mind that has forgotten how to be alone with itself.

Understand the neuroscience of scrolling addiction and why your brain is trapped in a dopamine loop. This video breaks down the psychology of endless scrolling, the attention economy, and how to fix a fragmented focus.
