Thoughtsurfer: Trans movies poll (1)
"To many, the scariest prospect is medication that can make us better than well by enhancing mood, memory and attention. Such drugs, they say, will undermine striving and sacrifice; they are a kind of cheating, like giving the soul a corked bat. But anything that improves our functioning - from practice and education to a good night's sleep and a double espresso - changes the brain. As long as people are not coerced, it's unclear why we should tolerate every method of brain enrichment but one."
Steven Pinker
