Then again I'm sure there are plenty of SV hipster types who might be big on it. "forget microdosing, khat is the new path to rockstar programming flow states"
Microdosing is mostly hype. I know many people who've tried microdosing. Does it give you a 5% edge? Maybe... but sometimes it distracts and subtracts 5%.
It is not NZT from the movie Limitless, despite media hype.
As a productivity drug, amphetamines far outclass psychedelics.
If you mean the substituted amphetamines which have serotonergic activity (DOB and such) then sure, amphetamines and psychedelics aren't mutually exclusive, but those are very rare drugs especially in the modern day.
No, I think it's a bit ridiculous to assume that everyone would be microdosing or that it provides such a massive competitive edge such that the drawbacks of microdosing are outweighed.
Too much personal introspection and autobiographical thinking. Tangential thoughts not relevant to the task at hand. Lack of linear focus. That kind of thing.
I bet people are just a little more weird microdosing psychedelics. Like, come on if it impacts your ability to create novel things, then you are going to create novel conversation topics and some of those are going to be fucking weird. I love acid for personal development but I am not sure if I could handle this reality.
Ah, in your experience. I missed that, initially.
I meant to write "Not khat," which gives me the best inspiration ever (and a crash that lasts days when I get off of it).
