Is Addiction a Choice?

The popular 'disease model' of addiction is everywhere, but Dan pushes back — removing the moral component actually prevents true recovery. The paradox of why addicts have morals but can't follow them, the failure of modern therapy’s 'blame game,' and why you eventually 'become what you hate' when you identify only as a victim. Plus, the high-tech future of farming with AI lasers, like a 'digital glyphosate' replacing harmful pesticides and weed killers. And the diet of the Artemis 2 crew, awaiting splashdown, and the bigger picture — first a moon base, and then we’re on our way to Mars.
