MDMA does not make you stupid (well, at least not acutely in moderate doses). It makes you attuned to other shades of human expression and ranges of the mood spectrum. I see no reason why a society of permanently-loved up people couldn't be rational, smart, and stable.

This fits in with my take on serotonin, psychopathy and altruism. Serotonin May reduce the sense of costliness that comes with being selfless, but simultaneously also the cost of harming others or being exceedingly cruel or selfish.https://mad.science.blog/2019/12/18/the-altruist-and-the-psychopath/ …

Furthermore, those living with an increased sense of cost would also be more selfish, but likely in a justified way, ie they can’t afford to be selfless. The psychopath with high serotonin may feel they can afford to needlessly harm others.
