I'd also call myself libertarian, so lean towards 'people can take care of themselves' (which can also be translated as 'people can make their own mistakes').

I'd also call myself libertarian, so lean towards 'people can take care of themselves' (which can also be translated as 'people can make their own mistakes'). In the artificial world of university, there may be an advantage to enhancers. Outside that world, there are some sectors where it may also be an advantage, probably within the same "twenty-four hour work cycle" paradigm the article mentioned. (Hacking constantly for your startup, perhaps) But for most people, I doubt any advantage would last past college. If I started popping Adderall my clients would wonder why I was suddenly so intense, and my wife would wonder why we don't relax watching dvds much any more - there's no advantage in the life I want to lead. But hey - if your startup is built on drugs and improves my life, go for it.
