Dopamine from information gathering is a dangerous drug. It’s the dopamine you get from reading. From planning. From learning. But never doing. Information gathering as sport. Jammed into neat little dopamine feedback loops that convince you that you're doing something productive and valuable. You're just one piece of information away from the big breakthrough. You'll start when your business plan is perfected. You'll meet your partner when you've scrolled through another round of profiles. You'll get that dream job when you have one more degree in hand. Your entire life will change when you realize the world isn't run by a bunch of geniuses. The world is being run by a bunch of normal people with abnormal bias for action. The answer you seek is hidden in the action you avoid. Dopamine from information gathering is a dangerous drug. Get your dopamine from action.
