Rethinking Addiction

Rethinking Addiction
So, I found this Ted talk on addiction, and given that people here have experience with it and it's a heartfelt speech, I thought I'd share it here to see what people thought.  My only critique would not to discount the "chemical hooks," as he puts it, but overall, I think it's a great message.  It's only roughly fifteen mibnutes, so if you have the time, give it a watch.



Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
