I don't agree that "life without intoxicants is so painfully boring." I'm almost never bored, except when waiting at the DMV, sitting through a lecture on the benefits of "diversity," or having a 100-IQ nurse tell me that vaccines are "safe and effective."

This is a sign of good health and mental clarity, but I believe the millennials have used up all your generation’s dopamine reserves, and we can not be without a small trickle of distractions CONSTANTLY.

Sometimes distractions can be alluring if you have significant fears, and I believe the rigged financial system has been _especially_ hard on millennials and later generations, for so many of whom a home and marriage and children seem unattainable. My wife is of your generation, and one of her challenges was getting over the fear of being crushed by her student loans. Bitcoin helped with that!
