So smart it smarts

[flexagon]

Ah, this sounds like heaven. I have very few experiences with smart drugs, but I have taken Ritalin twice this year (experimentally) and I sure did have good productive days each time. Provigil sounds even better. Once a week, for studying programming, perhaps? I suppose this is your cue to remind me that All Drugs Have Risks.

We just got back from seeing Inception, and speaking of smart -- that movie is deliciously smart. An action movie that has a well-defined reason to be action-packed, with at least one rather one-dimensional character who has a good reason to be one-dimensional, and how many dream levels? I thought four, but the faq on imdb.com has pretty much convinced me there were five. It doesn't hurt that I love Ellen Page, and now that Leonardo diCaprio has grown up and looks worried all the time, I think he's generally a plus as well.

I wish I could have 50 years with heisenbug in a world we create with our minds.

provigil, goddamn! siren song. if not risks, at least tradeoffs, though, it sounds like. productivity and brain flow but without creativity.

yeah... as a long-term thing that concerns me, but not so much on an average Tuesday.
