How come substance addiction is considered real and worthy of sympathy while behavioral addiction is considered fake and pathetic? Mill like you can't do a movie where a single dad is trying to do his best for his teen daughter, but loses his construction job because he can't stop watching cats push things off tables.

I think the fact that endless mild amusements are as addicting as hard drugs is so embarrassing that we as a species are not collectively ready to accept it.

Nor have we admitted that the barrier between "real life" and life online is no longer meaningful. Most of our hours are now non-real, and so we class the ruination of the majority of our lives as non-real.

And who would be sympathetic for a problem they consider imaginary?

That's why *i* stick to heroin.

I also watch cats pushing stuff, but only in social settings.
