I know... I was too lazy to look up the tongue-in-cheek emoticon :^) .   I think it is more likely that we will all be willing to fly on pilotless airliners (or amongst driverless semis) than to submit to morality-altering substances.   If I was really evil, I would suggest that big Pharma was in cahoots with the Moral Majority to slip this into the alternatives to Vaxxines that half the population is going to refuse on "moral" grounds.
Oh boy, that's sure to get some flames going! Even reasonably social beings like myself cringe at the thought of "people could take a substance to boost their cooperative, pro-social behavior." Social engineering writ large. Maybe it would work in China or other countries that have a very high opinion of working for the common good, but I think we're many generations away from such an idea working in the USA.
