![Addictions [...] started out like magical pets, pocket monsters. They did extraordinary tricks, showed you things you hadn't seen, were fun. But came, through some gradual dire alchemy, to make decisions for you. Eventually, they were making your most crucial life-decisions. And they were [...] less intelligent than goldfish.](/assets/img/quote-photos/addictions-started-out-like-magical-pets-pocket-monsters-they-did-extraor.jpg)

intelligent feet discipline
If complex organisms demand an explanation, so does a complex designer.
