Azathoth designed me with conflicting goals. Subconsciously, I value status, but if I were to take a pill that made me care entirely about making the world better and nothing else, I would. Just because “evolution” built that into me doesn’t make it bad, but it definitely did not give me a coherent volition. I have determined for my self which parts of humanity’s design are counterproductive, based on the thousand shards of desire.

(“If we are here to make others happy, what are the others here for?”)
Yes.
A better analogy would be asking about a pill that caused pain asymbolia.
