From an article about addiction books (https://fivebooks.com/best-books/the-best-addiction-books-carl-erik-fisher) in https://fivebooks.com:
“But before Bruce [Alexander]’s studies, there was a long behaviourist tradition of putting rats in cages, and then you could very easily addict a rat to morphine by letting them press a lever. They would use it compulsively, in the sense that it crowded out other rewards, even food. But Bruce said, ‘That’s a little artificial. Rats don’t live in cages. Rats live out in the wild. So what if I built an enormous cage that had lots of toys, opportunities to socialize, opportunities to mate?’ He even painted little pine trees on the walls and put nice wood chips on the ground. And he found that it was impossible to addict rats to opioids under the traditional behavioural paradigm when there are alternative reinforcers available.”
This explains a lot about the world we live in. 🐀

Last Saturday at #MoveTheDate in #Zurich I joined the En-ROADS #climate workshop on cutting emissions to meet the #ParisAgreement goals (<2°C, aiming for 1.5°C). 📉
My key takeaway: we need all tools in the toolbox - individual behaviour change, corporate responsibility and bold political action.
Top actions: global #CO2 pricing and energy-efficient buildings. A low-emissions future means cleaner air, quieter cities, better #lifequality and fewer sick days. 🌍💪 -

Thé boss hired a new employee, she is 16 years old, during one of the breaks she told me, that she has a congenital heart problem and she shouldn’t be working and spend her time in bed, that is something that she refuses to do, the doctor said she had only between 5 and 10 years to live, and she wants to live a more normal life even if that could kill her. #heartproblems #congenital #life #lifequality #death
