Porn

Highly avoid Porn: As its a prime example of Rewards without Effort.

Just like pornography is irresistible I mean pornographic images aren't real they're real enough and that's part of their danger I mean we we put young men in this situation now young men are more susceptible to pornographic imagery because men are much more visual in their sexual response than women women have their pornographic proclivities but they tend to use stories rather than images but a given 12-year-old 13-year-old young man can see more beautiful women in one hour than the most powerful man in history ever saw in his entire life and we're asking young men to be able to contend with that it's like why should they be able to contend with that. - Jordan-Peterson

We don't exactly know the causal consequence [of porn] but there are things we know the birth rate has plummeted in the west far fewer young people are having relationships the rate of virginity is skyrocketing I think in Japan it's 30% of people 30 and under are virgins. And the Curves in the US and the rest of the West are like we're 15 years behind the Japanese. The curves are the same and so it's radically disturbing... How much of that is pornography well we don't know because it's hard hard to parse apart all the different influences. - Jordan-Peterson

Don't Let Technology Use You

Use technology but don't let it use you.

Avoid cheap dopamine (dopamine that you don't have to work for).

Next time when you are picking the phone, ask yourself: "Do you want to be bored and creative (see Boredom), or do you want to distract yourself?"

General

Porn is a prime example of Rewards without Effort.

Rewards without effort will mess up your dopamine production.
