        Yea I don’t agree with the downvotes because it goes against the spirit of the community, unless there’s an obvious agenda that I missed

        The answers were generally valid though.

        It’s very hard to decouple the hormones’ effects for those that are necessary for life and the specific psychological things you mentioned. Neurobiology is very hard to work with and that’s just with electrical signaling. Chemical signaling is a whole other complex mess to try and control, and it really seems like it wouldn’t be possible. Like sure maybe it is possible to redesign life without nitrogen, but there’s no way to predict what complications that might have

        I think your intent was more “if we could”, in which case it yes might help reduce the issues you mentioned, or it might not. It’s hard to test because we can’t see what the alternative is.

        It’s also possible for people to be resilient and understanding without messing with hormones, which is a much simpler solution without the issues above
