wrote HOMO DOPAMINUS because someone had to.

Not to scare you. Not to sell you a detox program.

But to hand you the map of the prison
so you can find your own exit.

If this thread made you think — the book will rewire how you see everything.

#JochenAndritzky: #KritischeDiskussion in der öffentliche Debatte wird nicht ohne #MetaÜberlegungen gehen!

“Ich würde anregen, dass wir die Diskussion stärker auf den Metaebenen ablaufen lassen. Das ist vielleicht ein bisschen 'lebensferner', aber das, wo wir mehr gewinnen, als wenn wir dann immer in die Details reingehen.”

my2¢: Nicht solange wir #WeaponsOfMassDestraction (#SocialMedia) haben!
