The Problem of Artificial Willpower

所谓“人工意志力”的隐患

Drugs like caffeine can positively1 alter how we experience what we are doing.

含有咖啡因一类的药物能够改变我们对事物的认知。

Taken consistently, they might help us tolerate a long-term circumstance by regularly inducing an artificial sense of interest in what we would otherwise find uninteresting.

如果持续服用,含有咖啡因的药物能诱导大脑产生一种对原本觉得乏味的事情变得兴致盎然的意念。

Absent such a drug-induced interest, we may find ourselves more disposed to alter the course our lives are taking.

假若没有这种药物诱导介质,我们可能不愿意改变人生的历程。

That, at least, is the worry raised in a recent paper by Torben Kjaersgaard.

至少在Torben Kjaersgaard的研究中,他充分表达了对这一现状的担忧。

His focus is on something more potent2 than coffee: ADHD and wakefulness disorder-drugs such as Adderall and modafinil.

不过,他研究的领域更加专业化,主要研究治疗多动症和不眠症的药品,例如阿得拉和莫达非尼。
