We're not meant to check our phone every five minutes. The constant mood swings of getting a "like" then an angry comment makes us into anxious creatures. We evolved for scarcity but live in abundance. There's a constant struggle to say no when your genes always want to say yes. Yes to sugar. Yes to staying in this relationship. Yes to alcohol. Yes to drugs. Our bodies don't know how to say no.

Outside of math, physics, and chemistry, there isn't much "settled science." We're still arguing over what the optimal diet is.
