Even if you don't insist that people summon the willpower to JFDI (which I maintain is probably possible for a majority), you still have to ask why everything is such a gauntlet that large numbers of people benefit from these pills. Like, we didn't reduce smoking in the US by popularizing Nicorette. No, we reduced the availability and created more stigma. Have you seen what cigarettes cost after tax? But Twinkies are cheap.
- BoingBoomTschak 2y agoHaving a visual marker of low willpower is pretty useful, I'd say. Other than that, I guess there may be some consequences to mass usage of chemical shortcuts to psychological and/or moral problems. A bit like the famous "programmers trying to solve societal issues through tech" thing.
