Why You're Addicted to Being Angry
Added:Your anger isn't just a feeling. It's a hit of dopamine that social media algorithms are designed to trigger.
Evolutionarily, moral outrage was meant to protect our society, but now it's being weaponized. When you feel indignant, your ventral striatum, the brain's reward center, actually lights up with pleasure. Algorithms prioritize outrage because it captures your attention. You aren't just watching the news, you're chasing a neurochemical high. To reclaim your mind, you must recognize the loop.
