I don't care about the specific drug. I'm just asking, why not use drugs to condition people into correct behavior patterns.

>>8930486

Why would you medicate healthy people with substances that have potential for side-effects and addiction?

>>8930490
To stop procastinating

Not op

>>8930494
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?

>>8930513
You might want to check your reasoning about what "money" truly is.

>>8930459
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.

Come down is hell.

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

>>8930800
Even if micro dosed?

Wow! You know what OP, I think you are on to something!

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.

>>8930513

Money is my way to coke.

>>8930814
Lazy. Try again. This is /sci/, 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.

ive recently just come out of a many year coke habit. it does nothing good for you. guarantee it

>>8930847
Not. Talking. About. Recreational. Fucking. Use.
