Great, just a couple of really minor issues mentioned towards the end of the piece: if you stop taking GLP-1 drugs, you may experience a rebound addiction, and "prolonged use could, in theory, dampen motivational drive in some people". So basically, once you start taking these drugs, you can't stop, and they could make you a zombie. Maybe we should just stick with the original substance addictions.


These drugs are just a band-aid on wounds that do not heal by themselves
