@nickcammarata Mixed feelings depending how it's achieved- are you removing the ability to feel negative emotions? If so, would the person be worse equipped to respond to some situations (anger -> leaving an abuser who will eventually escalate to murdering their victim; frustration -> changing tactics to solve a problem; fear -> avoiding truly risky decisions- like, CIPA patients die young...) Also idk if ppl would really choose to use this tech very often so maybe the multiplier isn't great... I prefer to feel my full emotional range rather than take stronger antidepressants or mood stabilizers, partially because side effects etc, but partially because there are pluses to the low mood states - I feel more empathy, I'm more inspired w creative work, I conserve energy & pare down my commitments & in moving slowly I connect to things I miss when buzzing about in a happier mood.
