When someone has a dopamine deficiency, their brain is difficult to program. You can punish them 1,000 times and they will not learn. This is almost certainly a cause of homelessness.
But i'm wondering... maybe we should not be 'correcting' this dopamine difference. Maybe we simply need to understand how it can be good. There are advantages to being incapable of programming. Is it possible jobs could be developed based on the differences these chemicals produce?

No offense but this doesn't make a lot of sense. If you're asking if chemical imbalances in the brain are real disorders the answer is yes. You talk about dopamine deficiency but in some chemical imbalances, schizophrenia for example, there is too much dopamine.
A deficiency or excess of any neurotransmitter is going to cause disfunction in many areas. Which is why it needs to be treated or corrected.
