The blog (featuring some seriously actionable articles of exhaustive length) on everything from biohacking, smart drugs, and mind hardware to anti-aging, social dynamics, and philosophy.
Intelligence has always been the human resource--from the first flight on Kittyhawk beach to footsteps on the moon; from humans living in a state of stark barbarism and despotism for millennia to universal human rights so close to our grasp today--it was intelligence that got from there to here.
In the velocopdic era of modernity, we have built digital gods that would make our ancestors tremble; with omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence that would rival nearly any mythological deity. I'm talking about artificial intelligence, of course.
Thanks to AI, the resource our species needs to thrive is now seemingly limitless. With intelligence unlimited, we can build an economy of abundance, make governments sane again (if we need them at all), cure disease, and make death an option instead of the inevitability. With intelligence inexhaustible, our descendants can sprinkle the cosmos with human brilliance. And I, for one, plan to one day swing dance with my wife on the peak of Olympus Mons!
But is that all direly naive?
Will AI instead take all our jobs? And usher us into a cyberpunk dystopia that the greatest science fiction writers of the past century could scarcely fathom, chain-smoking at 2 AM on their seventh cup of coffee? With the invention of general artificial intelligence within sight, with this revolution, have we instead summoned the demon, opened the last Pandora's box, and birthed "the Borg?"
I think that comes down to the question we've all asked: is AI conscious?
Many of us spent a lot of time in our youth gaming: rescuing princesses in pixelated towers, furnishing our Sim's houses, fighting aliens in space battles, killing monsters in Black Mesa, leveling up our character's skills, or building Roman cities.

Once upon a time, I published a meta-analysis video about Kratom and, funnily enough, it made the internet more angry at me than anything else I've published. The enraged comments flooded into my comments section when I called it an Opioid, a non-Nootropic performance enhancer, and criticized it for a lack of human clinical trials.
Many Biohackers choose to abstain from spirits altogether, but especially during the holidays, they are missing out on a lot of good times, unforgettable memories, and festive fellowship with their loved ones. This article will present a holistic protocol for mitigating all the downsides of rowdy revelry so you can indulge in some drinking guilt-freeand without hating yourself the morning after.
I hadn't used Modafinil in quite some time; I'd just received an assortment of Eurogics, which I decided to use to offset a night of bad sleep. Which I don't recommend generally; Nootropics should not be used regularly to cope with insomnia, but I suffer from insomnia infrequently, and Modafinil can really make a big difference when you're sleep-deprived.
My personal policy on sleep deprivation is that I wake up early, get to work, and do my best to power through the day. I emerged from a light, dissatisfying slumber around 5:30 AM after tossing and turning for hours as thoughts raced through my mind. Modafinil typically takes an hour or sometimes two to kick in for me, so I took a full 200-milligram capsule of MODAWAKE® and tried to go back to sleep. The Modafinil kicked in as expected; it's a kind of cool sensation to feel the Modafinil begin to take effect as you are halfway between the dream world and waking life. I cuddled with my wife for a bit and got up.
