    I’m recognizing how many of the behaviors we see in adults are reflective of newer, upgraded forms of the same behavjor patterns of babies, despite adults often thinking of themselves as serious and mature. It’s funny to think of adults as grown babies sometimes.

      I mean… sure, there are similarities between the activities in the sense that they’re all escapism in one shape or another, but I wouldn’t associate American Pie with Cow & Chicken* (edited in as a better example, as they even share a certain kind of lewdness), for instance. Nor would I think that a KitKat is the same as a joint.

      It’s always all down to brain chemistry and changing it through various external stimuli/substances in essence, but I strongly believe that each type of escapism and escapist stimulus generate their own, very specific effects.

      Adults are just children, though, yes. 100% agree with you on that!
