Alexander Schmid Podcast

On this special episode of Side Quests, Mr. Wesley Schantz and I welcome Dr. Matt Roos from the Consilience Conversations podcast (https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/episodes/Consilience-Conversations-001-Confirmation-Bias-e26n1v) to talk about addiction and gaming. We talk about (a) the positive and negative aspects of gaming, (b) the relationship of addiction to habit formation and how game developers can build addictive habits into gameplay (and the ethics of these practices); and (c) the relationship between narrative/fantasy and addiction in young people, and particularly in young men. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/support
