Medicine has in the past 70 years vastly oversimplified our understanding of what "mind" itself is. They have grabbed on to the mechanistic functionings of the brain, and - delighted to discover they could change them - started fucking around at a mass scale with the nature of humanity itself. While I don't agree with DesCartes analysis "I think therefore I am", it is a useful construct in this instance. If our thoughts and mental experiences are so central to what we consider our "self" to be, the gall of fucking around with people's identities with these chemicals is outrageous. Psychiatric medicine is always mere millimetres away from eugenics. They want to "build better humans" and give us "what we want to be".

Now look at what we are actually receiving after this overambitious experiment has run for several decades. Our population is far more mentally unstable than the generation of our grandparents. It's not even close.

Adderall is just one example. The entire concept of psychiatric manipulation of human experience needs to be full-stopped for ten years so we can examine what the hell has actually happened. Sadly, it'll never happen because it is in fact "giving people what they want."

I get not reporting regulars but this is just bot spam.

I love amphetamines personally. ADD too, I'm supposed to take them. I don't though, I need to avoid drugs I like taking.

I take bronkaid instead these days when I need a stim, the ephedrine in it is methamphetamine with an extra molecule. Less fun and less expensive, I see both as a benefit. Although there's some evidence it's harder on your heart.
