    Did you read anything in my comment besides the word “addict”…? To be clear, I wasn’t being judgemental, so I’m sorry if I came across that way.

    To clarify, I was saying the risk associated with collecting, transporting, and storing a large mystery (but presumed illegal) package in a place like the US with extremely harsh, overly punitive punishments would probably only attract drug addicts or dealers. I like weed and alcohol so I’m not demonizing people who like to have a good time, but I would not be just as happy if it turned out to contain black tear heroin… And again, it’s compared to the risks.


















  • Apparently, the dopamine rush of telling someone about your project, you going back to school, you getting healthy, improving yourself, etc is so strong it’s basically pre-rewarding you for it. The result is scientifically-documented drops in people following-through and achieving their goals… You want to succeed? Don’t tell anyone until you’re already almost there!
