First, as you posed the problems with greed and power, I couldn’t help think we could shift the balance if we changed the incentives. What if investment in public good provided a better ROI than shares in a less necessary corporation, and the tax on this income was applied differently?
Second - Rather than exploring the benefits and justifying the risks of an almost-lethal experience, I think everyone (myself included) will allocate our resources to building the list of pioneers for this treatment while conveniently leaving ourselves in the late-adopter category.
I’m going to take the bait and suggest the headline - mandatory psychedelics to as a safe means to experience near death and cure asshole tendencies.
Any sociopaths remaining can get in the queue as we experiment with the recipes for almost dead.
Interesting angle Bill.
