No Mercy/No Malice

Slow Dopa

Scott Galloway warns that the "buy now, pay later" boom reflects a broader cultural addiction to instant dopamine hits, especially among young men. He argues that male brains mature later, leaving them vulnerable to impulsive tech, gambling, and finance products. Galloway introduces "Slowpa," a concept encouraging slow, compound gains through disciplined activities like building Legos or cooking. The essay ties this personal insight to his new book, *Notes on Being a Man*, urging parents and educators to foster patience and long‑term value creation.
