    Hell. To. The. No.

    This is no different than the electroshock ‘therapies’ that were pioneered from 1930 and onward through the 1990s. This is based in medical quackery and this is highly problematic that it once again is being suggested.

    anxiety is a symptom of many mental disorders, not a sole disease.

    This kind of sounds like it should be a !nottheonion@lemmy.world headline.

    Lol sure, what a crock of shit. All future technology is essentially going to be used to control, advertise and Oppress us. A Techno-fuedal surveillance state.

    I haven’t read the article but tbh, the first thing that popped into my head “for only $9.99/month”. Another thing adding the litany of life’s problems caused by technology lol

    Technology isn’t inherently bad, obviously, but in our current world it’s primarily owned, controlled, and advanced by bad groups and people (for-profit companies, governments, and the rich). Until we actually extricate ourselves from this situation, we should be very wary of looking to technology for cures to out problems.
