Comment on Declaring War on Adderall

Comments

nootropics seems to be like steroids - useful medicine to treat real issues, and to produce exceptional results in useless "pure for show" activities like very quickly carrying that ball across those lines or picking out those 2 the same words in a quickly flickering sea of words. No practical improvement in any practical activities.

Note: 20+ years ago at University i first hand observed some acquaintances using nootropics to facilitate exams cramming. It worked for that purpose. While no practical improvement in their grades or knowledge beyond the day of the exam. People with comparable capabilities did the same cramming without chemicals too. With nootropics it was just easy, and sparing your mind such hard work isn't a good thing in mathematics (or anywhere else) actually.
