How is sleep considered cheap? You have to pay a monthly subscription for the right to sleep, it's called rent.
How is sleep considered a source of dopamine?
A quick search yielded it helps reset and balance dopamine receptors but not that it provides any.
I had the same thought about therapy. Like who says that's a dopamine source? Feels like they just added random activities here. How about ice skating or baking as well?
Dopamine regulation as a whole could be considered "Dopamine Responsibly", the way I see it.
It's lumping an incredible amount into small categories. I would bet your named activities are going under the hobby category.
This seems like a really thrown together at the last minute chart. Where's sex? Why is learning expensive? It's only expensive if you're doing it specifically with a degree in mind at a college, because wikipedia is free, and there are a ton of resources out there in the form of free 'classes' with quite a bit of material. Fuck, even textbooks at the library are free(ish).
Processed food is cheap? Jesus, I wish. Exercise is more expensive than breathwork? Hooooow? AND HOW IS MEDITATION MORE EXPENSIVE THAN BREATHWORK?!? It's the same damn thing with a different focus!!!!
Oh my god, how is alcohol more expensive than caffeine? Have you seen how much it costs to get a good cup of joe? Coffee's nasty, but whatever. It's not as if three shots from a bottle of bottom shelf tequila/vodka are going to last you a lesser amount of time than the caffeine buzz. Shit, unless you're really nursing that coffee, alcohol's time to metabolize is going to last way longer.
