Reply to comment by Cindexxx in Humanoid robots using cameras for eyes will likely experience issues and accidents around spinning objects such as propellers, due to frame rates by scarronline

That is an incredibly shortsighted view. Stimulants are not good for the body, especially daily long term use.

We already have too many old people. Two birds, one stone.

Also people with ADHD take daily stimulants for years. We're getting to the point there'll be people who have been on them virtually their entire lives.

So, so many things wrong with this comment. You're encouraging what is essentially genocide, or biochemical warfare against entire populations.

Also, "too many old people" means you fundamentally don't understand the issue. It's not like people will be healthy forever then just keel over 10 years earlier than average. They'll get sick and feel progressively shittier.

Lol, no I'm not. I guess I should've put /j. But for real, just let people have em. Who cares? Better than street meth.

I didn’t say people shouldn’t have them. Doctors shouldn’t be prescribing them so much and they shouldn’t be treated so casually.

But also yeah if people want them recreationally they should be able to buy them. We just shouldn’t act like it’s a good thing.
