Ozempic and Wegovy linked to surprising drop in violent behavior

Any plans to trial these types of drugs in the prison system?

Soma pills are within reach!

It's only a matter of time before nootropics forums start experimenting with these drugs... These drugs seem to change something fundamental that reduces problematic behavior.

But does this drop in "aggression" also destroy good "assertiveness"? In other words there's a concern of creating metaphorical "zombies" who lack a "force of will"

If it works by reducing “wanting” then it may change not only violent behavior but the flip side, attachment and love.

Pills that make you a vegetable because you don't want to eat vegetables instead of sweets and count calorie intake.

All of the "surprising" stuff they do is because they reduce neuroinflammation. Imo. As far as I can tell from the literature. I'm fairly sure that part of the reason they reduce neuroinflammation is because of pulmonary GLP-1 mechanisms. (Lung and brain are quite intimately connected, as is inflammation to the other two. As well as the gut. And… metabolism.) Neuroinflammation is very behavior-modifying. (Neuroinflammation kind of makes sense as an untamperable side-channel of information for neuronal processes – out of band; Protective. Can't think yourself to death.) There's tons of papers to read. You wouldn't believe how much accurate and correct and actionable and predictive scientific information exists that nobody reads. Read primary sources. Anyone can read. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't read . Least of all yourself.

Reminds me of the movie Equilibrium. And we won't even get Gun Katas. "But I being poor, have only my dreams. I lay my dreams upon your feet. Tread lightly, for you tread on my dreams."
