I don't think he is saying that 'smoking pot makes you "stupid"'. The point he makes is that empirical observations about your own performance, while on a mind-altering drug, are inherently flawed.
- pwk 18y agoIt can be hard enough to make empirical observations about one's own performance even when not under the influence of a mind-altering drug. I did once spend an afternoon making recordings of myself playing guitar at different levels of sobriety. Results pretty much as expected :->.
- knewter 18y agoEmpirical observations about your own performance are inherently flawed while not on a mind-altering drug, barring measurement/metrics. If you're measuring, I can't imagine how your state of mind could affect those. If you want good separation, find a metric that can be recorded/played back. I thought we were hackers? There are obvious solutions here...
