Instead, we should focus on a more permanent solution, that of removing people from environments that would necessitate putting an electrode in their brains.
As a 25+ year sufferer, I agree with you somewhat; it's best to put the puzzle piece where it fits rather than take scissors to it. The problem is that sometimes that environment is society itself and it's just not very realistic to remove oneself from society aside from death, which also doesn't technically solve anything.
I often feel like I need to move off the grid somewhere and live a simpler, "natural" life without all the schedules, pressures and expectations of a normal life. Long term survival in the wild would probably stress most people out, but to me it's every day pressures and decisions that are complicated and confusing.
I moved from the woods of upstate NY to St Louis in 2010. It was exciting for a few months but the buzz of the city, even a small city like STL, slowly burned me out. I moved back this past fall.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not some highly dysfunctional hermit: I function rather well in modern society, there's just no contentment in it. Only hiking brings me any significant peace.
