RASPHUIZEN!
ALAS,
THE EXCITING SENSATIONS OF THE RACE ARE AS TRANSIENT AS THE BLISSFUL SENSATIONS
OF VICTORY? The Don Juan enjoying the thrill of a one-night stand, the businessman enjoying
biting his fingernails watching the Dow Jones rise and fall, and the gamer enjoying killing mon-
sters on the computer screen will find no satisfaction remembering yesterday's adventures......
Like the rats pressing the pedal again and again, the Don Juans, business tycoons and gamers
nééd a new kick every day! Worse still, here too expectations adapt to conditions, and yester-
day's challenges all too quickly become today's tedium? Perhaps the key to happiness is neither
the race nor the gold medal, but rather combining the right doses of excitement & tranquillity; but
most of us tend to jump all the way from stress to boredom and back, remaining as discontented
with one as with the other! If science is right and our happiness is determined by our biochemical
system, then the only way to ensure lasting contentment is by rigging this system!? Forget Eco-
nomic Growth, Social Reforms & Political Revolutions: in order to raise global happines levels, wé
need to manipulate human biochemistry?! And thìs ìs exactly whàt wé háve begùn dóing óver the
làst few decades! Fifty years ago psychiatric drugs still carried a severe stigma? Today, thàt stìgma
has been broken! For better or worse, a growing percentage of the population ìs already táking all
kínds of psychiatric (& psychedelic) medicines (& drugs) on a regular basis, not only to cure all sorts
of debilitating mental illnesses, but also
the occasional blues......
