Where are most people, during those hours? What do most contracts say about being caught having downloaded such material at work? What consequences flow from exposure? Then why take that level of risk?Don't use logic when considering these questions. The part of the brain that does logic, is the Frontal Lobes - the Frontal Cortex (which analyzes, problem solves and learns).Problem. When triggered to do the behaviours, very soon afterwards, the Frontal Cortex goes offline and the Limbic system (deeper in the middle of the brain) - takes over. It is the Emotional brain, which responds to feelings and emotions and triggers the Amygdala (the smoke alarm part of the brain) - to do something, to bring back stability of mood; to bring back homeostasis.(Understand homeostasis by closing your eyes and stand on one leg. Most of us instinctively want to hold out our arms to balance us. So it is with the Amygdala and Limbic system).Problem. The behaviour of choice, is what is well-used and has repeat hamster wheel activity about it; the automatic - autonomic system - 'go-to' behaviour; because of the neural Pathway carved out from repetition.The logic (that the chosen activity has "Harmful Consequences") - is not being made in the Logical part of the brain. You could say - there is compromised brain functioning. A Recovery Programme, will want to provide tools to help better manage emotions and keep the logical brain online.
