Can I say I find this horrifying?
Can I say that perhaps they've already started doing this? I mean they clearly state they have no qualms of doing it secretly to our water?
Let's add on to this thought about all these blue city folks. A lot of them take psyche-medications. And when you are living in a high=speed, fast paced lifestyle...you might need a little mental health help. Is it possible that what we see as these crazy big blue cities is really a side-effect of an over medicated society?

How can someone claim to be an “ethicist” — and have such a poor understanding of mortality?

Note to self: In the coming revolution, after we’ve shot all the lawyers, remember to shoot all of the ethicists.

Oh, so moral = cooperative.
Oh for the days when moral meant honest, sober, generous, and not sexually obsessed and depraved.

REad the article in full. It is horrifying!
It’s time to put the water purifiers to work.
And the image used is a handful of “right wingers” protesting. Uh...I don’t think a handful of people are the reason the virus is spreading.

Yegeny Zamyatin’s book “We” ended with everybody getting brain surgery towards the same end. It was written in 1920s Soviet Union, I recall. The author did manage to get out. The authorities seemed to think he’d be more trouble dead than released, I guess.
The book was supposed to be a horror. Though Lazmatazz would like it as carnal relations were parceled out socialist style with reserve tickets, with any body.

BIG PHARMA likes that...MORE pills. Karens and Kevins should get some anxiety pills.
Jack Kevorkian is DEAD. BILLIE & TONYA are still alive though.

Aldous Huxley already thought of that. In his book ‘Brave New World ‘, he called it “soma”.

My research in bioethics focuses on questions like how to induce those who are noncooperative to get on board with doing whats best for the public good. Who decides this?

Morality.
Sorry.
The clown has not idea of morality. Particularly if he doesn’t see how immoral it would be to force people to take brain active drugs.
