I don't care about the specific drug. I'm just asking, why not use drugs to condition people into correct behavior patterns.
Owen Diaz
Why would you medicate healthy people with substances that have potential for side-effects and addiction?
Caleb Rivera
To stop procastinating
Not op

So you want to use drugs to turn people into robots?
Is procastrination really a big enough issue that drastic measures are warranted?

Why not invent money and reward it to people who don't procrastinate?
Angel Wilson
You might want to check your reasoning about what "money" truly is.

If you're talking about self-administration, it would require a huge amount of discipline to actually use it that way, something procrastinating people tend to lack badly.

That's what I use, but I'm allowed to because I'm a sped.

A robot is programmed to do a repetitive task. What I'm talking about is rewarding people for pursuing long term goals as defined by themselves.
Procrastination is a major source of frustration for basically everyone. It is [i]the[/i] reason for people's stunted personal development.
And it is not just procrastination; the same principle could (could it?) be applied to all kinds of behavioral problems.
How about having a personal trainer? Think: a dosing machine attached to you, and a PT giving you a hit for correct behavior. Obviously not such a high dose that it would get you high. A couple of months in such training and the brain is bound to rewire as desired.

Doing coke will cause depression bruv, which in turn decreases motivation. This is simple simple stuff.

In fact, I feel like relaxing, so I'm going to go shoot some heroin.

Parents use sugar in a similar way to reward children for good behavior. The thing is, they won't sell their parents TV for more candy.
Using cocaine to reward good behavior has a negative net effect, that's why.
Noah Young
Money is my way to coke.

Lazy. Try again. This is Veeky Forums, and we have standards.
As I've understood it, addiction development occurs when your life without drugs is worse than your life with drugs. See "Rat Park" if you haven't already heard about it.

I know the idea is preposterous, but I'm going to want better counterarguments than "drugs are bad, mmkay?". My position remains: Dopamine reinforces neural patterns associated with instantaneous reward. Therefore we should train the brain, using dopaminergic stimulants, to reinforce patterns of behavior leading to long term success.
