Someone else? I said people. There is no reason to pay attention to everything in this world. In an ultra connected society, limiting ones' attention span is an important skill. Being obedient is common in those that are hyper vigilant about their perceived performance. These are the students that get straight As then commit suicide.

  Please refrain from telling people with different opinions that you eagerly await their publications. Ive noticed it in many of your recent comments. It is in poor taste to end your comments with personal smarter-than-thow one-off slants - written as if discussion was a rap battle and you dropped the mic.

    An opinion is something that has an "I" value component, such as "chicken tastes bad" which is short for "I don't like the taste of chicken". The crazy things you keep asserting like "Being obedient is common in those that are..." and "People who pay attention to everything, even the most boring drivel, are usually..." aren't opinions; they're just entirely unfounded. Whether something is or isn't boring _is_, however, just your opinion, and yet you've decided that you're the arbiter of what someone else should be attending elsewise they be "uninspired" "obedient" "prudes". So...you know...stop saying crazy things and I'll stop eagerly awaiting your publications.

      I feel bad that you think amphetamines are some class of "lifestyle" drug. They are one of the most simple drugs around..pretty much the definition of a stimulant other than even more primitive ones like adrenaline or noradrenaline. You are welcome to keep thinking you are doing yourself a therepeutic solid by taking amphetamines - but ultimately you are just popping stimulants like a spice jawa from Star Wars. Just be honest with yourself - its easier to change when you admit that amphetamines arent complex drugs...that they are just simple stims...that they dont give a person anything they didnt already have. That they basically just overclock the brain and the body. If you dont believe it, pop 100mg and try not to have a heart attack or seizure. Good luck bug

        > You are welcome to keep thinking... I get it. You don't believe the problems are real. Or you don't believe that the drugs are effective at treating them. So I'm lying.

Let me tell you a story about a little drug called Lithium Carbonate. We can compare.

        The specific biochemical mechanism of lithium action in stabilizing mood is unknown. So no, Lithium is not a simple drug other than its small chemical formula. Amphetamines on the other hand are understood quite well. I have taken amphetamines myself, and still do occasionally. Ive actually done almost every drug under the sun. So I know exactly how amphetamines feel and function. And there is nothing to amphetamines, slighty more to phenyldates, and slightly more to racetams. There is a reason amphetamines are called speed on the street. Your psyche has locked itself into binary habits, where you are unable to perform without amphetamines. Ultimately, speed is not a real changer in anything other than...well..speed of function and stamina. So everything done on speed can be done normally. But I totally understand if you have grown accustomed to becoming a shy shell of a potato sack depending on whether you are sped or not. It is easy to forget that not even alcoholics drink every day, all day. But "Durr adhd" means lets speed all day. Shape up and face the music. Your cardiovascular sysyem will thank you. Just pray you don't have a myocardial infarction before then..
