这取决于什么是“快乐”和“聪明”。已有提高情绪的药物,比如“百忧解”和控制一种叫做血清素的大脑化学物质水平的其他抗抑郁药物等。虽然这些药物起初是为了治疗抑郁症的,但现在已被用于缓解其他一些心理状况如羞怯和焦虑等,有时甚至被健康人群使用而使自己感觉更好。但使人情绪更好就真的是在使他们感到快乐吗?人们也可以借酒浇愁或通过使用麻醉剂来获得一种快感,但几乎没有一个这样做的人能称得上真正的快乐。
It depends on what is “happy” and “smart”. There are already mood-enhancing drugs such as Prozac and other antidepressants that control the level of brain chemicals called serotonin. Although these drugs were initially used to treat depression, they have now been used to relieve other psychological conditions such as shame and anxiety, and are sometimes used by healthy people to make them feel better. But is it really making people feel happy to make people feel better? People can also get a thrill by drinking alcohol or using narcotics, but hardly anyone who does this can be truly happy.
