> It strikes me as an ideology of hatred towards humans to argue against something so incredibly beneficial for the individual
It’s not an ideology of hatred to consider unintended consequences.
This is the plot of like 20% of science fiction, where unintended consequences backfire at a societal level.
That might arise from curiosity, imagination, or concern for the future of our species.
There are studies that show when dopamine receptor activity is inhibited in mice, their motivation for basic survival plummets. They will continue to consume food if it placed in their immediate reach, but they will otherwise put forth only the bare minimum effort to survive.
That is to say, there are very real implications of messing with hormone responses, and it’s definitely not a given that it doesn’t backfire spectacularly down the road.
I also think most people would and should choose the quality of life now, even if that has longer term side effects we don’t know about yet.

It seems as an ideology of hatred to sacrifice the well being and health of real humans to prop up the false belief in something called "society", which has never existed and will never exist.
I have nothing against arguments questioning the side effects of the drugs for the individual, but that's another debate.
Should we also argue against exercise and a healthy diet, since these things also have an impact on people's political views?
