you only like those things because they're designed to be likeable
you're basically addicted to chips because food manufacturers manufacture their food to taste good so you'll want to eat more
when you enjoy a thing, it releases dopamine in the brain, which is the same chemical that gets released when you are enjoying taking drugs (scary)
you are just glad because you are happy
I have a client who communicates exclusively via Microsoft Word.
If she has something to tell me, I’ll receive an email with nothing in the body, but a Word doc attached. That’s where she writes her message.
Whenever she wants to email me a photo, she does so via an empty Word doc with said photo set as its background.
But my favorite thing was the first time I witnessed her visiting a website. She had me spell the URL (“W… W… W… dot…”) and with my own two eyes I watched her type it into Word, made it a hyperlink, and Ctrl click it to go there.
I was so fascinated I didn’t even say anything.
