   Sorry, but your critical claims of Shulgin requires strong evidence. I'm willing to believe he struggled in his old age, but need to be convinced that it was due to psychedelic use and not post-stroke and normal dementia.

   I've been doing reverse Bond showers for the past two weeks, where I start off with cold water and gradually switch to warm water. During the initial rush I can feel the "mammalian dive response" kick in as my eyes open wider

    From years of amateur neurochemistry - As best as I can tell - ADD & ADHD are two sides of the same coin resulting from a dopaminergic deviation that serves the tribe but not the individual. Most people think of dopamine as the "pl

    I fear there exists a class of product that seems like a great idea, but can only survive in a "big" acquisition, and that getting acquired is a poison-pill. Mint may be one of those. We have a regional clone of Mint called 22Seve

    Fascinating point about caffeine as a methylxanthine. My experience with caffeine is that it can help kickstart me into doing something I have been putting off, but easily overcompensates by making me start too many things at once and there

    Yes, it's a type of evolutionary gradient descent: you see an entity get stuck in a locality-constrained hill-climb before it gets culled by another entity that climbed a different hill (of regulation).

    I spend a lot of time making my consulting invoices look good, because it seems to justify my rates and impresses the payroll department, who then pays me sooner.

    Try butter in your coffee. You get the creaminess without the lactose sugars. It also helps to have really high-quality espresso-style (extracted for <30 seconds) coffee when trying to ditch milk. You can also transition witu honey.

    Meditation is a tribal act in a screentime age: quietly facing the same direction, obeying a common leader - together. Just like yoga, dancing, climbing & hiking. I think tribal socialization is a better explanation for meditation'
