Theodore Kaczynski
"Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness. Science fiction It is already happening to some extent in our own society. Instead of removing the conditions that make people depressed modern society gives them antidepressant drugs. In effect antidepressants are a means of modifying an individual's internal state in such a way as to enable him to tolerate social conditions that he would otherwise find intolerable."

"تخيل مجتمعًا يُخضع أفراده لظروف تُغرقهم في شقاء عظيم، ثم يمدّهم بالعقاقير لتبديد بؤسهم. هذا ليس محض خيال علمي؛ بل هو واقع يتجلى إلى حد ما في صميم مجتمعنا اليوم. فبدلاً من معالجة الظروف التي تدفع الناس إلى الكآبة، يزوّدهم المجتمع المعاصر بمضادات الاكتئاب. وهكذا، فإن مضادات الاكتئاب غدت وسيلة لتعديل الحالة النفسية للفرد، على نحو يمكّنه من التكيف مع ظروف اجتماعية كان ليجدها في الأصل لا تُطاق."
