Episode Synopsis

You ARE allowed to just want what you want.--------------We kick off with a question no one’s really asking but probably should be: Are you allowed to just want what you want? No justification, no reasonableness — just desire. Then we get into the dopamine spiral, touching everything from exercise and workaholism to peeing on a plane and healing people for the high.Along the way:– Hitler makes an appearance (yep).– Bashar shows up with boob-reading healers.– 2048 becomes a metaphor for your soul.– And we ask if “addiction” is just… someone else’s projection.You decide what you want. You decide if it's too much. It’s Right Fucking Now, and it’s all an individual game.0:00 – Cheers and awkward silence0:25 – Can you just want what you want?1:30 – Collective consciousness and Hitler’s desires2:30 – Bashar, boobs, and questionable healing methods4:00 – Resonance, awareness, and government shutdowns6:00 – Repressing desires in the name of kindness8:00 – Misbeliefs and negative emotion10:00 – Are we ever really alone in a belief?11:00 – Topic 2: Dopamine addiction discourse13:00 – Is dopamine the cause or the effect?15:00 – What even is addiction, really?18:00 – The “exercise addiction” paradox21:00 – Casual game addiction & time scarcity23:00 – The world’s biggest addiction: work25:00 – Peeing, drugs, and the pursuit of relief27:00 – Final thoughts: Beliefs are just thoughts28:00 – Is this all just… an individual game?
