Freelance writing, The Pandemic Project, pays $50 per post

We have scientific reasoning for why most people are dumb, lazy, scared, and self-deceptive, and we need help spreading the word.

After decades of research, we recently released a report detailing what is most accurately termed dopamine addiction. Titled The Perfect Pandemic, our book explains everything from why people prefer lies over facts, to why the least evolved among us reject evolution.

In short: dopamine addiction is a disease, and dopamine addiction explains everything. Furthermore, the pandemic is in the process of destroying our species’ chances of survival.

This is not a spoof, a joke, or a hoax. The Perfect Pandemic exposes a brain disease that is capable of keeping sufferers from wanting to know they’re diseased. The simple truth is that healthy individuals don’t pollute, destroy, lie, cheat, steal, kill, deny, delude, or deceive themselves.

We’ve reached a point where very few people are capable of rising about the dopamine-induced fears that have turned the masses into dopamine puppets who can’t ask themselves why they don’t want to learn about dopamine addiction. If it isn’t already too late, this might be our last chance to turn things around.

We’re looking for the right individuals to sound alarms. Are you one of them?

No matter what your area of interest or specialty, chances are there’s a dopamine angle that could fit on our blog. We’re sure you can think of a personal experience, news article, historical event, personality, book, sitcom, movie, food, or (for example) a Twilight Zone, Star Trek, Seinfeld, or Simpsons episode that supports our theory that “dopamine addiction explains everything!”

We pay $50 for 300-500 word posts.
