potentialities

Don't worry, you can say whatever you want in my journal and besides, I totally agree with what you're saying, but ...

I totally don't agree that that particular song or that particular article (which I hadn't read before because I figured it was subscription only, which in retrospect was kind of dumb because why would they let people download the music for free in that case, but never mind my stupidity) are even about that at all. It is about the hypothetical development and usage of enhancement drugs that go beyond what we do now, where the FDA is only supposed to approve drugs that treat a problem and then doctors are only supposed to supply those drugs to people who have that problem. I don't think the idea that we should do less than what we do now is really entertained in the article (which does mention the hysteria that arose when SSRIs hit the public radar and points out that they have potentially serious side effects which severely limits their appeal to the enhancement crowd so that no one is taking them who doesn't think that they need them) and I may be projecting here, but I don't think most readers of Popular Science, whoever they are, would advocate that position anyway. I hope. Because then I might have to kick their asses, if I met them.

But anyway. Not to say that you have to like the song or the article or anything else, for that matter.
