Having discussed this IRL I have found there to be much disagreement in this area, what are your thoughts?

Clarification: This is a hypothetical so imagine it is one pill (or your preffered method of taking a medication) with no side effects.

  • Absolutely not. I wouldn’t be me anymore, and I’m too attached to the perks. I don’t really think that it would be possible to only get rid of the stuff that negatively impacts us.

    There are times when I love what my sensitivity brings to the table, for example, when listening to music or looking at a painting, but I hate it when there’s a subwoofer on somewhere on the block. I don’t want to give up the first to not have to suffer the second. I’d love to be able to be more spontaneous, but I wouldn’t give up my pattern recognition abilities.

    It’s an interesting question, though. Would we know what the expected changes would be before taking the pill?
