What Bruce says this shows is that both the right-wing and left-wing theories of addiction are wrong. The right-wing theory is it's a moral failing, you're a hedonist, you indulge yourself. The left-wing theory is your brain gets hijacked, you get taken over. Bruce says, it's not your brain, it's not your morality, to a much larger degree than we've appreciated until now, addiction is an adaptation to your environment.
