To be fair, this is nothing new - if you've hopped onto a few boards/forums that discussed this, or read any of Shulgins's books - https://www.amazon.com/Pihkal-Chemical-Story-Alexander-Shulg... this has been a constant conversation that was semi-, not really, but kinda underground to people who persisted and wanted to explore this world.
Erowid is a great history and collection of user reports, and from there you can look for other forums that share the same idea, concept of storytelling, experience telling, and even how to cultivate and probably synthesis things but the later part is what makes it more questionable to many people. :)

MDMA is on the roadmap for regulation and being "legal"
The article though is quite dystopian for sure, talking about all the artificial side of drugs, meanwhile ignoring the big picture of "Life is already artificial."
Finding ways to improve your empathy and your ability to love is not bad, never.
But then you have things like "One possibility is that people will begin to see that love is something that is at least partly in our command. "
Love is always in your command, always. I just can't agree with that affection and love aren't.

And then the whole idea of relationships having to involve love is also new itself, most of the time relationships, marriage in history came out of need, not for "love."

So who defines what love is?
