What you're witnessing is a radical restructuring of what is socially acceptable, or seen as good.

This statement about what is "good for society" can't be evaluated by statistics or metrics. It has to be believed, taken on faith.

Oh, they'll cite studies about miraculous results with overcoming addiction and depression. Pardon me for being skeptical about the massive amount of junk science that has over promised, under delivered, or been outright unrepeatable.

This is no different than the "AI" algorithms that are quickly making their way into decision making in society. It's a black box that worked great in the lab, so let's ship it to everyone. Surely it will be good for us!
