Are swallowable robotic pills that dispense anti-depressants on schedule a scientifically plausible solution? Would such measures be enough to keep the worker bees of the industrial system operating efficiently?
Are swallowable robotic pills that dispense anti-depressants on schedule a scientifically plausible solution?
Oh, can we pair this with Assertive Community Treatment too? Can't be too sure those depressed people are going to take their medicine, let's send some cops to assert some antidepressive suppositories right up their backsides.
>implying golems won't willingly eat the pills to make their troubles go away
this
everything except the robot part is what a lot of retards already do to cope with their problems
>everything except the robot part is what a lot of retards already do to cope with their problems
And they stick to even if it's demonstrably ineffective, but maybe a custom, wirelessly broadcast medication schedule combined with careful monitoring of golem brain neurotransmitter levels can make it actually work?
Are you a Golem? Will you willingly take the pill? No? That's why we need Assertive Community Treatment.
>Will you willingly take the pill?
Want a brutally honest answer? If the situation becomes that hopeless I may evaluate such an option. The realistic worst-case scenario of it seems like just another form of suicide.
>Are you a Golem?
Maybe.

With radio-controlled neurotransmitter adjustments, turning you into something resembling a zombie slave isn't an impossibility. Death might be strictly preferable.
>turning you into something resembling a zombie slave isn't an impossibility
If there's so little humanity left in you that you can't even experience the situation as undesirable, is it even "you" at that point? It's just a body that used to be you. On the other hand, if it doesn't turn you into a zombie slave but does block hopelessness and despair to keep you functional under inhuman conditions, there's a chance you could use it to your advantage and work towards some goals of your own, maybe even goals that would otherwise feel like a lost cause. It could be a sensible strategic gamble, depending on what exactly these meds did to people, but I suppose either way you would be sacrificing your humanity.
>If there's so little humanity left in you that you can't even experience the situation as undesirable, is it even "you" at that point? It's just a body that used to be you.
And will be you again in the future. And that future you will have continuity of memory with whatever the zombie-you does, even without remembering *why* you did. e.g., suppose a sadist grabs the transmitter and purposefully induces postpartum psychosis in a new mother, who as a result murders her infant. The sadist then ceases disrupting the mother's neurochemistry, and she's herself again, only she remembers killing her own baby without having the slightest idea why.
Death may be *strictly* preferable.
I get what you're trying to say and I disagree.
I mean mind controlling sadist or not, you may get postpartum psychosis and murder your infant all the same. People do all kinds of shit and never figure out why. It literally doesn't matter.
Stop being such a scared beta.
>give an external authority control over your neurochemistry or else you're a beta
lol. lmao.
Implying you have any control to give. Stop being afraid to live lmao.
>Implying you have any control to give
I have the control to not take such a pill.
>Stop being afraid to live
Take your own advice and tell me your address and your daily schedule, be sure to leave your doors unlocked too. You aren't afraid, are you?
>when you're so desperate for someone to hear your opinions that you knowingly argue with a smoothbrained false flagger
>Take your own advice and tell me your address and your daily schedule, be sure to leave your doors unlocked too.
Does that imbue me with superpowers to power on Übermensch-style?
Are you going to kill yourself like that other beta?
I wonder what I said to make this brainlet so deeply upset.
>still confused
Well, yeah. I'm confused. What's your malfunction?
>suppose a sadist grabs the transmitter and purposefully induces postpartum psychosis in a new mother, who as a result murders her infant. The sadist then ceases disrupting the mother's neurochemistry, and she's herself again
Then she has some real consequences to deal with after the fact. This doesn't apply in the scenario of someone simply living a "miserable" life that he can't even experience as such.
That's a fake quote by Pinker btw, that's not what his tweet said
>human ingenuity is truly boundless
absolute state of cucks
No that sound like fucking theranos and we know how fake was that
It’s made up shit
so when the robot runs out of anti depressant in one day then what?
or are you supposed to swallow a new robot every day?
>dispense medication on schedule
birth control implants do this for years on end also concerta does this albeit over the period of a day or whatever
with the implant, i wonder what happens if it breaks/is damaged, and with concerta type deals, i wonder what the absolute limit is for a pill like this to remain in the system, still dispensing medication
Those aren't for antidepressants, they're microneedle pills to shoot up stuff from the inside you can't normally take orally like insulin and epinephrine. They're mechanical, there's no electronics in them. (Yet, I guess.)
>“The scientific principles underlying the SOMA system, and the system itself, have the potential to enable oral delivery of large molecules such as peptides, proteins, and nucleic acids,”
>nucleic acids
Anyway, who needs scheduled SSRIs when you can have genetic therapy in a pill?
>the SOMA system
Orgie porgie Ford and fun!
If you thought this tweet was real, you have less than 110 IQ.

If you thought your factcheck was relevant in any way, your IQ is probably 110. Go be a good golem someplace else now.
>golem
You don't understand what this word means.
I understand what it means just fine, golem. Now go be a useful tool for your masters and factheck something new.
