I think people build tolerance for it pretty fast, due to the serotonin getting depleted. But in the case of these brain interfaces, would it really be the same thing?

In the end it's just electric currents activating logic gates essentially, the body simply relies on opening those gates with neurotransmitters. But these devices could bypass all of that and just make x transmitter operate at full capacity constantly. What does society look like after that becomes possible? People dream about VR enabling your wildest fantasies and whatever, like having some retarded Star Trek holodeck that lets you live out whatever you want to do. But what if you could make yourself feel infinitely better just by activating x receptor, that would be absolutely catastrophic
