It's totally different than adding fluoride to the water. no its not. we fluoride the water to counteract the effects of eating cultivated grains on our teeth. humans are not designed for this diet, but stupid civilization has hosed us up. but fluoride to the rescue!

A lot of people have to go off lithium because their kidneys can’t handle it. These trace amounts are far below the psychiatric treatment doses. I'm pretty sure living in one of those towns with "high" lithium groundwater won't kill your kidneys.

Wouldn’t show up in event viewer, damndest thing. Anyhow, after I fixed and reregistered the library everything worked fine. You know, some people say to just reload the whole operating system at that point, but how’re you gonna keep your skills sharp that way? GANGER:... ME:...

I think you can make the argument "trace elements are cool and good, lets make sure all our water is great" without it being all dystopian, but the framing of doing this specifically for depression does kinda weird me out.

I think some of y'all missed the bit where they're talking about concentrations like 1% of a therapeutic dose that still seems to have an effect on suicide rates. Seems to me like it's probably just a correlation not a causation thing but if they manage to show the same effect through RCT then I would have no problems with them adding trace amounts of lithium to drinking water

Now I'm wondering if there's any public health level research on the psychological impacts of other water chemicals. I lived in a town for five years where the water had so much sodium that if you were on a low sodium diet, you could not have any other source of sodium in your diet, at all. That water tasted like garbage, must've had some effect on the minds of the people tolerating it. sometimes we get glimpses of the cool cyberpunk dystopia

Listen, we have Teslas, and they're full of lithium, so this is a solved problem. Why did you think Teslas attack firetrucks?

there's also a stephen king story where some guy decides to drug the entire planet with some sort of super lithium but it turns out prolonged exposure causes dementia and long term memory loss leading to humanity dying out as people forget how to take care of children all written from the perspective of the guys brother whose mind is slowly breaking down

You might identify this man who should be legally obligated to share his badge number in a sane world. You know, if anyone actually posted that information. Which they didn't. Jail for life.
