The other military experiment this reminds me of is the one where they tried to see if soldiers would keep fighting well after being exposed to LSD. It turns out that if you made an LSD weapon, the enemy would probably not be able to fight well.

The military’s research on LSD ended in 1963, not because of the unethical aspects of the research, but because the effects of LSD were so unpredictable that the drug could not be effectively weaponized.

Getting armed troops high on psychedelics sounds like the worst possible plan.

Batman like villain idea, a hormone expert decides to use his expertise in drugs and hormones to make actual love darts, and uses it to force bigots to love people,

Batman has to debate with himself wether to "save" a previous hateful KKK homophobe, who is now in a loving gay relationship with an ex neo bazi, who began doing the deprogramming work, and are trying to atone from their past. Because if he gives them the antidote, they might go back to hatred.

at the same time, there is a moral dilemma to love darts itself as a concept

is it technically rape?

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

No, it's love. They're not sex darts.

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

is using a love dart to make someone fall in love with you technically rape of the mind?

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

Depends what kind of love. Love of your common men and women should be default. Why such hostility towards love?

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

just a fun thought experiment on the implication such an item suggests

But Imagine a love dart. It would basically immediately knock out whatever inherent racism and instill a deep empathy with the other person. I suspect for some they would still consider this a violation of some aspect of their sovereignty and they would still try to sue you for taking away their hate/ignorance.

i think yes if the darts make people have sex. otherwise it's like drugging people without their consent, so villain like

Reading that, with all the change of heart those people had, I'd risk they would do something to punish themselves and atone for their past mistakes.

And that should be the objective of prison and judicial system: punish, yes, but reform nonetheless.

By the way, there's a German comic adaptation that solves the issue a little different. The women still stage their protests, but the men overcome the lack of sex by becoming ok with homosexuality. After all, the war still ends.

Doesn't something like this happen in Hyperion?

[-] HeroicBillyBishop@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

It will be great - once we get thru whatever phase this period of history will be referred to as

I'll never will get good again. There is still the climate change. The good times are gone forever.

Fuck the enemy would gain an entire new understanding and outcome.
