No, no, no! They should be working on how to remove the bad experiences I actually had! For instance, working at various notcoms for 5 years.

You would be missing the joy of learning .. never mind, they can zap you with satisfaction as well.

I'm filing this under "things that I'm not totally okay with science knowing how to do".

Would you prefer that they instead do research on giving people bad memories of things that never happened?

Reminded me of an episode of star trek where they gave someone the memories of a murder victim as punishment for the murder.
