Modafinil is an Anti-Empathy Drug [Neal Thakkar Interview]

Ⓒ By Jonathan Roseland

Applied Neuroscience Strategist, K-Selected Biohacker, Tantric husband, Promethean peaceful parent, Adventuring philosopher, Raconteur, and Author. He spent +14 years researching the intersection of human performance enhancement and advanced personal growth in his obsessive quest to find real-life "NZT-48."

I interview fitness guru, Nootropics impresario, and large human, Neal Thakkar of Evolvere.

We discuss the downsides to bodybuilding, fitness hacks, Modafinil vs Mindfulness, and the potent Nootropic stack he's created - QUANTUMiND. Whether or not you should bring your smartphone to the gym. Why Modafinil is a problematic anti-empathy drug. We discuss the workout supplements HMB, Yohimbine, CBD, and Creatine. Neal warns about common mistakes to avoid making in the gym, like why...

“You shouldn't do cardio in the gym BEFORE lifting weights.”
