I don't mention euphoric at all, Scott Alexander mentions it but I think he's talking about a general pleasant impulse rather than euphoria.

Are you saying dopamine does not work like this?

I see. Reading the article you linked I understand the frustration.

This dopamine view is a little oversimplified.

Does is significantly change the argument though? Even if dopamine is not the mechanism, the activities are still pleasurable?
