This is a great answer, and the possibilities you stated are things I hadn't considered but would be issues that we would need to realize and hopefully control. I like how one of your reasons for wanting to take the pill would be to see what humanity is capable of. I think a large number of people would (and rightly so) maybe view this question as mainly a way to extend their own pleasures, possibly simply taking a hedonistic point of view without contemplating what could be witnessed throughout the course of hundreds or thousands of years. Thanks for the thought-provoking response!
