Do you:
- Love gambling?
- Taking extreme risk in business & personal life?
- Find what others find 'exciting' very mundane?
- Find the 9-5 lifestyle a literal death sentence?
- Hate being in 1 place?
THE Dopamine D4 receptor gene (DRD4-7R)
WHAT IS IT?
Dopamine is a chemical that binds to receptors in your nerves.
The variant DRD4-7R causes less binding of Dopamine.
Therefore what others find extremely rewarding, someone with this defect will see it as mundane.
EVOLUTIONARY PURPOSE
Varying studies find that ~15-20% of people have this genetic mutation.
In previous times when extreme risk would have led to death, it has also likely been the reason why Captain Cook, Ragnar Lothbrok went on insane expeditions.
It has always been people who have taken extreme risk who have pushed society along to new innovations and changing the world as we know it.
Although a ''dangerous'' gene to possess, it is likely an essential component as to why we have developed.
If we didn't have innovators who feel sick at the thought of living safely in a cubicle working for someone else...
The world would not be where it is today, and we wouldn't keep pushing the boundaries of human potential.
If you find yourself constantly hungry for more, wanting to dabble in extreme danger, risk, can never sit still unless you are smashing through the barriers of your world with reckless abandon, then you may very well have this mutation.
This gene is a spiralling kamikaze, you either crash and burn, or you become someone who changes the course of history forever. There is no in-between.
@brutedeforce should copyright this receptor, as I have no doubt in my mind he has a high % of it based on his view of life.
Crypto degens who happily drop thousands of dollars into a coin they found from a shady 4 chan server
Entrepreneurs who want to scale to billions of dollars in revenue
Athletes who want to constantly pulverise their potential ceilings
This is not a bubble wrapped life.
