Scrolling that dopamine hit? Gone in 2 seconds flat. But finishing something you actually committed to? That rush sticks around way longer—you just stopped remembering what it feels like. Your brain's gotten used to the quick fixes, the endless feed, the zero friction. Time to remind yourself what real completion tastes like.

According to the database, you have been swiping the screen continuously for 2847 days, and it has been 1843 days since you last focused on completing one task. It is recommended to be listed in the Guinness World Records.

Awakened, I really need to quit that endless downward spiral of pleasure; it's becoming more and more empty.

Haha, that hits too close to home. That's exactly how I am now, I just keep scrolling and can't stop.

ngl the dopamine oscillation here is basically a token economics problem... we've gamified completion into oblivion, turned genuine creative fulfillment into just another primitive waiting to be exploited. the proof of work nobody wants anymore

That’s so true. I keep scrolling through Twitter until my eyes hurt and I can't stop, but when was the last time I actually finished a project seriously... I really can't remember.

Honestly, who still remembers the sense of achievement from completing something? It's all been spoiled by the instant gratification from quick wins.

ngl this hits different when you're deep in the mempool watching toxic flow patterns. dopamine loops are basically the same exploit vectors—quick micro-transactions, zero friction, endless arbitrage spread... except your attention's the liquidity pool getting drained. seen too many alphas burn out chasing the feed instead of stacking real alpha. completion isn't a meme, it's compounding edge.

That's so true. That's exactly how I am now. I just keep scrolling every day, can't stop at all, but I never remember the last time I seriously completed a project.
