It's probably not something you'd want to take on an ongoing basis; "stabilizing neural connections" sounds rather important, and I'm sure^* evolution didn't give us the hardware for enormous capabilities that are just switched off for no reason; great results require a great cost. Compare plasticity-affecting psychedelics like LSD - a child like state can be therapeutic, but it has its drawbacks. This seems like the kind of thing that may be beneficial to use periodically, a spring cleaning when the attic gets full, so to speak, rather than on an ongoing basis or for acute benefits like typical performance-enhancing drugs.
It seems amazing and desirable. If theadvancedapes can take mind-altering drugs in order to achieve oneness and transcendence, why not mind-altering drugs in order to achieve genius.
I'm with you. Better living through chemistry. Were I born anywhere else, at any different point in time, I would most likely be dead at a very young age. When I was saying pharmaceutical whack-a-mole, I was referring more to reactionary, stupid drug policy.
