Hmm, it's mixed. Yes, a culture that would force people to take Adderall would be bad (what about Caffeine though?). But there's nothing inherently wrong with giving people the tools that let them choose their own mindstate. If I

I'm currently sitting on a beach, in the shade, reading this post on my phone. (And also reading up and planning the marketing for my startup, and probably writing a Facebook post and a blog post soon. Edit: Nope, still reading HN. It&
