Let me talk to you about addiction

So this is a little different to all the opinions and takes you see on this site, and it's mainly to let you watch this video:

This is made by "In a nutshell" or kurzgesagt, and they make some amazing points near the end about how we consider addiction, and how as a whole society, talking and learning and listening are all valuable parts of what it means to be human.

Give it a go, watch it to the end and tell me what you think.

makes sense. i think it's all about coping mechanisms. some mechanisms are just less destructive than others. i. e. watching netflix as a opposed to using cocaine.

That's a really interesting video, I've never thought about addiction like that
