<p>Not every source of pleasure is equally addictive by its nature.<p>However, I'm not talking about _addiction_, but messing with the dopaminergic system. It's, I'd say a specific kind of "pleasure" with particular mechanisms to trigger.<p>The problem here is not that a person "is not having control over doing, taking or using something to the point where it could be harmful to them" (<a href="https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/addiction-support/addiction-what-is-it/" rel="nofollow">https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/addiction-support/addiction-wha...</a>). The problem is that the reward system gets broken. If a person is actually addicted to instagram scrolling, like people are addicted to smoking, it just adds another layer of complexity. As I observing from myself, "checking stuff on my phone" looks like a bad habit rather than an addiction.</p>

<p>besides porn, things like facebook, tiktok, instagram, reddit... generalising, it's everything that acts as a button "gib me more novelty" that one can press as much and as frequently as they want.<p>surely, not everybody is hooked by these things, and it's definitely possible to use them without harm, but sometimes it requires training and (self-)awareness.</p>

<p>Well, social networks and *-toks are also poisonous for your dopaminergic system. As well as certain classes of games, I guess here's a spectrum.
But the best option I see is to educate _everyone_ including kids about mental hygiene. Rather than enforcing unenforceable restrictions.</p>

<p>Lol.

<p>Obviously. And much more leave on the previous stages.<p>Because academic science doesn't have scientific proof of existance. 
People shouldn't stay there, because there are no anthro-/psycho-/socio-/etc- reasoning that this way of organising people to seek new knowledge actually works, and it's efficient in any way.</p>

<p>> Germany? (Over)socialist? Are you high?<p>(from what I researched) To the extent that Germany wouldn't allow me to invoice foreign company as a freelancer, because it's considered false employment.
The state is so nanny that wants to impose their labor protection and social security on people who visibly don't want it. 
In other countries, I observe there is a kind of "social contract" (at least for programmers) to allow people work through business entities, pay less taxes and get less protection, if they're competent enough to make this kinds of contracts.<p>> Fact is there is money to be made by employing these "protected guys", they are certainly not jobless.<p>They are. Portugal and Spain impose a lot of socialist regulations backed by high taxes, yet they complain about brain drain (pt) and unemployment (es). People don't want to come and open businesses to these very attractive places for relocation. Instead, cold small Estonia gets their startup boom, surprise-surprise.</p>

<p>There should be a balance between workers bleeding dry in capitalism, and workers don't have (good) jobs because it's too much hassle with "regulations and labor protections", and is not worth the outcome.<p>Really, if in a (over)socialist country I have an idea to build my personal wealth, why would I give jobs to all these protected guys, if I can leave them jobless, and get €€€ using minimal team I can assemble. Ideally - being solopreneur at all.</p>

<p>I agree that the type system should be better. And for some reasons, golang didn't even implement proper tuple types. However, now with generics, you can actually do Result[T] with all functions you described.<p>> in itself as well is inexcusable for a modern language<p>In Go, you can assign nils only to pointers</p>
