Digital Subliminal Drug Simulants: Good or bad idea?

[DarthXedonias]

Even though its already been decided, I thought I would give my opinion. As a side note, I think we can have this discussion without calling people who don't agree with us names (like socially conditioned fuddy duddies and mind police). This is suppose to be a forum to help people with their development, give advice, and overall help build others up not break them down. So, I think we can have a good, calm conversation without having to result to such things. Anyway, I ended up doing a complete 180* on my position because of a certain event, which I will talk about later, that happened around the same time this discussion started. In the end, my position ended up close to Catman and Johanthan's position on this.

From what I'm seeing there are two main positions in the "no" camp which both sound very reasonable. The first is that there are more important programs that could be made or upgraded to 6G. Which seems very true in my opinion. If I have to choose between having life changing programs (LTU 6G, EPRHA 6G, etc) and short term "recreational" programs, I know which one i'm choosing as a priority.

The second position i'm seeing is that we could do better by resolving people's core issues that result in people relying on recreational drugs to just "cope" with their issues instead of truly solving them. The event that changed my mind was something that happened along this line of reasoning. I was talking to a group of acquaintances the other day and they got on the subject of their drug usage. To my surprise all of them except one of them turned out to be recreational drug users. Not that I care all that much, what others do with their body is their business. As the conversation went on, it grew apparent to me that they used drugs to "cope" with their issues instead of actually solving them. Dealing with the symptom but not the cause. In the end, I honestly think most people would benefit more, self development wise, from running something like LTU 6G for the long term than using a short term recreational drug with short term benefits. In this case, with LTU 6G (after a few runs) I would feel good 95% of the time without the use of drugs, whereas with the recreational one I would continually have to use it each time I'm emotionally down. Of course this all depends on whether the person who would buy a Digital Recreational drug is doing it purely for fun or they are using it to cope with their problems.

In the end, I think it would be better just to concentrate on things that help people in the long term with their goals (whether they be business, relationship, etc) than short term fun. Nothing morally wrong, at least in my opinion, with fun recreational drug use but I see it as a very low priority (if a priority at all) when compared with all the other things that could be accomplished with 6G technology.
