If they _could_ implement the technology that serves as the macguffin driving the story of Severance, I'm sure some of the more secretive tech companies would.

I take prescribed antidepressants so I'm no virgin but I do the microdosing which, at least initially, provided a noticeable and nice little mood elevation. Now, I'm not sure but there doesn't seem to be a negative, so I continue. The drug that enhances alertness and works to counter my apnea torpor is modafinil, classified as a wakefulness promoting agent. Nobody should be forced to take a medication they don't want (unless we're talking childhood vaccines) nor should the provision of drugs be required (unless they're abortion stimulating or hormones taken as part of a transition) but the spectre of mind-altering science? Not so scary.
