For example, children who use iPads for several hours per day can have their brains re-wired due to screen usage making them prefer short-term dopamine boosts rather than long-term delayed gratitude. And of course, this type of hedonism can impact religious belief too since kids prefer to play on iPads rather than go to church etc. What Screen Time Can Really Do to Kids' Brains | Psychology Today How Screen Time Creates Child ‘Dopamine Addicts’ With Bad Habits The evidence is there, plain and easy to see. I am not making this up. If you disagree with me, you are disagreeing with the psychologists who performed the research. Believe them, not me. |
A lot of your posts are very filled with biases.
It feels to me like you're trying to contort the world around your beliefs, rather than using the world to justify your beliefs. Like how flat earthers ignore evidence that contradicts their beliefs, or they reinterpret
Objectively why is using an iPad hedonistic?
Playing games gives people gratification. So I guess I should take my kids out of the church playground.
The pancakes at the church breakfast are gratifying, I guess I should stop eating.
A lot of people get gratification about religion, maybe I should take my kids out of church. It's too hedonistic.
