What types of neurological disorders would using deep brain stimulation be okay for?

  Fair. Just like that I saw a little pushback to the usual fanboy reaction to brain implants. I'm sure there are plenty of valid use cases including this one. Just think we should take caution with technology so we also don't normalize artificial happiness.

    We've been normalizing artificial happiness for millennia with alcohol and other drugs, it only makes sense for humans to continue experimenting with such things.

    What is “artificial” happiness? If a device that isn’t plugged directly into my brain makes me happy, is it no longer artificial because it’s being experienced via typical sensory inputs? Or can an external device also cause this “artificial” happiness?
