Interestingly, they mentioned Ritalin. The use of Ritalin by college students
to study for finals is booming now. And, of course, the anti-transhumanist
objection that body/mind enhancement will lead to an ever-escalating arms race
is already coming true. Other students feel the need to take Ritalin just to
keep up, as the curve rises. A vicious cycle ensues, perhaps, but the critics
miss the point that everybody is still LEARNING MORE, which makes society
better off. As long as it's safe, people should be all for it.
