> What's the point of anything any more if we can just "be happy" at the press of a button? Why bother actually solving whatever made you unhappy in the first place? How can you still appreciate the good moments? How can you still build deep social relationships if your ability to make someone else happy? (Or why even seek out such relationships in the first place?) You described drugs ! And I can feel an incoming issue for the society. If anyone can be happy with the press of a button, why bother about, say… improving society, fighting human exploitation (they’re so happy to work), fighting climate change (at least we get 6 months summers, what a relief). But I’m not rejecting that this appliance could be very useful if well used, because depression also is an issue for the society, for the ones affected, and because it probably increases criminality by a lot. Well, it looks like humanity is going through a lot of hard topics to tackle.
