Are chemical interventions designed with the best outcomes for the patient or the best outcomes for society? I suspect it's the latter. It's cheap and if you're lucky it's effective. When it goes bad it can ruin lives and families. As a _default_ it's a moral weakness.

Is this a solvable problem? Yes, but it's monumental, encompassing everything from the way we structure our civil society and work life from the forms of food and entertainment that we incidentally or directly subsidize.

We accidentally built something gross. It moves really fast, though.
