Their entire worldview begins to shift and they perceive reality as an endless pursuit of self-gratification, at the EXPENSE of other people. This is the key component. I like to term this the egocentric feedback loop. There are several different types of reward mechanisms in our brain. There's the feeling of reward we get from immediate and visceral sensory pleasure, eating chocolate, having orgasms, kissing people, then there's reward pathways from abstract feelings, being passionate about an idea, nurturing a person or animal or thing, becoming stronger or smarter, If you go through life and take note of what matters to people you will find that people who spend a lot of time in the 'sensory' feedback loop, do so at the expense of the other feedback loops since the path of least resistance will almost always win.

Our biology is not wired to be compatible with a world in which an abundance of immediately gratifying sensations is at our fingertips, a world in which you can order a delivery pizza and watch porn every single day is simply too powerful for most people's minds.

All of this would, again, be forgivable if it was in isolation but it isn't. These behaviours propagate like a virus as each person is less compelled to resist the allure of self gratification by each additional person in their environment who participates. This is because shame, whilst unpleasant and sometimes abused to horrifying extents, evolved as a natural barrier in complex social hierarchies to preserve healthy behaviours when unhealthy behaviours can be more gratifying. Consequently as our social feelings of shame dissipate the only people who will choose the less immediately gratifying path are those who are innately wired to have weaker 'appetites' both for sex and food.

As an experiment I would suggest you spend time befriending someone who is very sexual active and someone who is very non sexually active (by choice) and noting their characters.

Thank you for reading.
