Show HN: From Dopamine Detox to Enlightenment

https://www.scortescu.com/posts/idtia/
1•Sscortescu•3h ago
Two months ago, realizing my intelligence might soon become a commodity threw me into a quiet existential crisis.

If intelligence doesn’t differentiate me from AI, what does?

We die, AI doesn’t. Our attention is sequential, AI’s is parallel.

Curious to test this theory, I spent 10 days at a Vipassana retreat to reset my dopamine and intentionally train my attention.

What started as philosophical became vividly physical. Some tangible results from these past two months:

- Lost most of my torso fat (–0.5kg/week), without dietary changes

- Improved VO₂ max from 53 to 58

- Released chronic muscle tension (neck, back, hips)

- Need one hour less sleep, same energy

- Zero procrastination—flow state on demand

It’s like switching from black-and-white to full-color vision.

Wake Up, America!
