In this short monologue, the speaker imagines SSRIs, specifically sertraline, being sold on a consumer platform like Shopify with mandatory, candid product reviews. He argues that such transparent disclosure would reveal severe adverse effects—loss of genital sensitivity, emotional blunting or anhedonia, suicidal ideation, gut damage, and down‑regulation of presynaptic serotonin receptors. He also links SSRIs to heightened risks of mania, violent behavior, and school shootings, suggesting these dangers are often hidden or downplayed. The overall message is that, if fully disclosed, SSRIs would be a failed product that no one would purchase.

If sertraline was sold as a drug on Shopify and it had reviews and it had people reviewing it and it had competitors and it had competitors that were trying to disqualify that brand, it would be a failed product entirely. If they were required to tell you before you got on these drugs, hey, by the way, this could cause you to lose all, like, uh, genital sensitivity, it could cause suicidal ideation, just so you know, also, like, looking at the amount of crazy stories of people who have taken SSRIs and done crazy things that have been swept under the rugs. You know, looking at the statistics of school shooters and mania-induced— mania situations, and also the anhedonia component as well. Like, hey, this might work, 12% chance that you'll never be able to feel your genitals, 15% chance that you'll never be able to feel any emotion again. And by the way, it's probably going to wreck your gut, it's going to wreck your serotonergic system, it's going it's going to downregulate some of the most important, like, presynaptic serotonin receptors in your body, um, nobody would take it.
