The Pleasure Trap: Why More Isn't Better 👀

from Rainbows in the Dark · host Dr. Kim Makoi

Why do billionaires get weird? Why does whipped cream lose its magic after the fifth mouthful? And why did my long-running booty call survive for 15+ years… while a more “serious” relationship went off the rails in a fog of too much?In this episode, I dig into hedonistic adaptation—the sneaky way your brain gets used to pleasure, and how chasing “more” can quietly ruin the very thing that once brought you joy.We’re talking snacks, mailbox-shaped pools, and the science behind why modern life leaves us so unsatisfied (even with whipped cream in a can).If you’ve ever felt stuck on a treadmill of diminishing returns… this one’s for you.🧠✨ #HedonisticAdaptation #ThePleasureTrap #RainbowsInTheDark
