Thanks for the replies, all very interesting and insightful.
I’m fully on board with the desensitisation of emotions due to the overload of sensory information. Very few things in life interest me, let alone excite me. It feels like everything I do now is just a watered down version of something I’ve previously done. If it’s not bigger, better or more exciting I feel like there’s no point in partaking.
I would say the only 4 things in life that bring me any form of excitement are, gambling, sex, food and music.. in that order. But nothing compares to watching that ball spin when you’ve got a large sum of money wagered on the result. If only you could replicate that feeling without risking the money, my god would you be rich!
