...we're gonna have to re-evaluate old concepts of free speech and democracy.

Everyone's on anti depressants/sleepers/speed, the chuds are blasting testosterone out their ears until they stroke, weed is everywhere and as potent as heroin.

Add the perfect dopamine delivery system, a political internet economy modeled on the addictive technology of vegas slot machines.

It's gonna have an effect on the national psyche.

Is it a partial explanation for Q?

Shout out to the divorced, biker, small business tyrant, dad...caught with test injectables and thc edibles, and guns, after the Capitol. Just the only man for the moment.

    Hasn’t there always been widespread use of drugs?

    It's a fair point. I wonder though if the intensity, the stimulation overload, of modern life mixed with all the prescription pharmaceuticals is maybe creating a new dynamic. When combined with the whiplash, the contradictions of LSC, with the added psychosis of ONLINE.....I think there's something new.

    I mean, SSRIs are prescribed for kids and pets now ffs. To quit smoking, even. Anything to avoid paying for talk therapy. Wonder how that'll be viewed in 25 years.

    edit: As an example, caffeine is proven to make you more suggestible. Have any studies been done on other substances?

      I mean, prescribing drugs isn't new "Give your kids laudanum and cocaine at night!" was a thing as late as 1930.
