For context, he really lost all credibility when he started speaking authoritatively on dopamine. It was immediately clear to everyone actually working in related fields that he's more interested in being a monetized science-adjacent influencer spreading mis and disinformation than furthering the actual science.

His dopamine views are beyond pseudoscience and marked the beginning of his downfall, imo.

Why are his dopamine views pseudoscience? Can you elaborate? I was diagnosed with ADHD and I thought his content made sense to me.
