If you make a program that can feel emotions and just give it a reward circuit, that's not an e-drug, that's just a regular old permanently happy program.
Why not just program it to do the thing you want it to do while feeling nothing?

They're not worth their time in tears
I may have spent too long in darkness
In the warmth of my fears

It would be much more ethical than drugging up a substantial part of the US population 'volunteers' with fentanyl heroin to study withdrawal symptoms

Guess who's back.

I guess I ought to come back to this place. I'm mostly active elsewhere like on Mastodon but it won't hurt to give this another chance.

And good to see you! I at least was starting to worry for your safety. Like that the feds had found you or something

Got any new stories to tell?

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

Don't worry I'm completely safe.

Well, over the few months I've been absent I basically rethought a lot about who I am and what I stand for and how I think about the world. There will soon be changes in my profile.
