I have ADHD. It doesn’t change the fact that people feign ADHD in order to get access to amphetamines.

We didn’t fully ban them. We just prescribe them to anyone a doctor decides has ADHD.

No. What would be illogical is to assume that because Russia might be motivated to protest for the sake of propaganda, that it is not also, or instead, motivated by not wanting to lose access to a hypothetical backdoor.

Even if you solve for immortality, that wouldn’t mean you will have solved all of the medical ills of humanity. We might be able to “cheat death” within our lifetimes.

A good apology includes taking responsibility for the negative outcomes you’ve caused as well as how you’ve made changes to ensure the harm doesn’t occur again. Here, you have the latter but not the former. He also didn’t explicitly apologi

Why is it nice? Is it that you're used to seeing it and its absence feels wrong? Wouldn't you become accustomed to its absence with exposure? I've found this to be the case for me.

Here's what a typical primary care physician will do: prescribe you non-stimulant ADHD medication with potentially terrible side effects and since those don't work for a lot of people, they will move on to prescribing amphetamines

I've been trying a ketogenic diet since listening to this episode and over the past few days have noticed an improvement in not only my ADHD symptoms, but a decrease in anxiety as well. I'm very optimistic about this, though I&#x2

Ketogenic diets likely increase insulin sensitivity, which may explain your experience.

I found it useful to keep a text file with organizational and personal goals and to record my accomplishments each day. It helped a ton when review time rolled around, but it also helped me keep in mind if my actions were best serving the o

In general, we're protected from the true costs of our decisions. It's not just consumption of animal products, but negative externalities generally. We're willing to accept terrible things when divorced from the consequences

I would have said the same thing before the twitter fiasco. I'm curious what information and assumptions he's operating on.

Funny enough, it's impossible for people to know what you've learned and retained at University without a test. They're more willing to assume that you have though.

PTSD has strong negative impacts on a person’s life. Treating it mitigates these negative impacts.

Somewhat. I feel focused and active, but it’s more of a calm balanced feeling.

$1B? Is that an exaggeration? I can't seem to find anything close to that number anywhere. Perhaps you're mistaking the low-end cost of developing a new drug (around a billion, but it can be three times that) with the cost of FDA

Relying on booze to have a personality is where a lot of alcoholics start out. Not saying this is you, but it's worth keeping in mind if one beer starts becoming more.

Doesn't strike me as a humble brag at all. He just seems self-aware about how he's motivated and that that he functions better when it's someone else's money on the line.

Wouldn't a smart person, realizing they have no hope of solving a particular problem, simply move on to doing something useful instead?
