So I was thinking...
This sounds pretty amazing (in my mind). I want to attend, and I shall... but is there anything I should do ahead of time to be a more receptive participant?
Like not:
- using the microwave
- using cellphones
- doing that game where you breath deeply and your friends hold you as you pass out after standing
- masturbating under blacklights
- sniffing shoe polish
- screaming at birds that fly over head
- endlessly making lists on forums

Actually, those are just a short list of the things you need to do to prepare yourself.Lambic wrote:So I was thinking...

Brain enhancement, body enhancement, it's all good. Why is there so much objection to it? Why do so many think of it as 'cheating' or 'drug abuse'? I can't rap my mind around that logic--Like we just invented the car, but it's illegal for anyone to use or have one. Just doesn't make any sense to me.
What actually is the 'down-side'?

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

the funny thing is, john, back when i started taking these drugs, WAY BACK, there were for "problem children", then they were for "ADD" and "ADHD" now they are "brain enhancing"...
i am biased. I still take 60 mg. a day of Adderall, which is for all intents and purposes, pure amphetamine.
the bigger question is, for what reason are we as a society being cranked up?
to handle the information and multi-tasking that we now do as "the norm"?
to be able to "focus" for more hours at a time and retain the information acquired?
whatever it is, the down side is the many side effects of long term usage, which are still being studied, and i am part of that.
Psychosis, and emotional lability (as opposed to stability) are absolutely part of the equation, as well as addiction to the serotonin increase that it provides on a regular basis.
whether this is acceptable in light of the supposed enhancements is debatable.
this from the horses dry mouth.

Yup, I have the generic Adderal, it says 'D-amphetamine salts' right on the label. I don't feel a goddamn thing from it, talking to the shrink again next week. At least this shit is a lot cheaper than the anti-depressants.
Fuck, I am being medically treated for two conditions that I believe are caused by social problems. Couple hundred bucks a month for diseases I don't believe in. FUCK!
