1. Save your money.
   If you want good nootropics go with onnit shroom tech
   If you want to do it yourself, go buy 5-htp and l-tryptophan from the drug store and do it yourself
   If you’re more enterprising, microdose with psillocybin mushrooms once every 3-4 days.

   1. Expand please

2. Since kratom is going to be banned I guess superdrive will do.

3. But is it as good as Kratom?

4. Except that most of these cognitive enhancing gimmicks don’t work any better than placebos. Remember the “brain fitness” fad a few years back? We’ve heard a lot less about that lately after Lumosity had to pay the Federal Trade Commission a hefty fine for making unsubstantiated claims about its brain training products.

   1. Where can I buy some of these placebos you speak of

      1. Reminds me of some campaign here in Germany saying that pizza cheese is not real cheese, but … they called it ‘plastic cheese’ or something. Then I read some article in an online forum by a guy who said: ‘I love the plastic cheese. Where can I get more of it?’

         1. Mozzarella is real cheese. If you’re eating real pizza, it will have Mozzarella (among other cheeses).

         2. Meh. Who wants ‘real’ pizza. I’m talking frozen pizza from the supermarket.

         3. I love real pizza. As in New York or Chicago pizza. Sure, Italy invented it, but they don’t really matter in the world any longer. New York thin crust is ambrosia, and Chicago deep dish is virtual mana on earth.

         4. Meh. It’s like discussions about art. You can say something awesome about pretty much anything.

         5. I’m so “real food” it would….BLOW. YOUR. MIND. Frozen shit, while ok in a pinch, leaves me seriously wanting. Frozen venison excluded, because basically I freeze it and put it in my freezer and I killed the sumbitch. But for food discussion, if “frozen” = proof something is bad outside of frozen, I tend to disregard it.

         6. Nononono. No.
            Ive been to Germany twice and your pizza is the worst thing in the world lmao.
            Thats okay though, you have the best beer, wurst in a million varieties and don’t hate me for saying this, but Doener Kebabs are off the chain.
            I do greatly dislike your ketchup though…

         7. Haha. Well, I was joking about frozen being always better. I don’t like rules.

         8. No. Czechs have the best beer.

         9. Haven’t had it.
            Ill heed your advice.
            But margherita pizza is the most awful travesty to befall the world.

         10. I was to Florence once. I had 10 EUR with me. I had to search for 2 hours until I found a place that was cheap enough to buy me a pizza for that. Basically, the whole town is full of churches. And almost every restaurant is expensive because it is close to some church. It’s the ‘Church XX Restaurant’ then. In some backwards alley, I found a place that sold a Pizza Margherita for 9,90. Damn, it was good.

         11. Haha. Maybe they’re better in italy.
             But NY style pizza so different it hurts.

   2. Yeah, I never paid for Lumosity, but I had the pleb inclination to believe the neuroplasticity meme, or at least that it could be that simple to develop.
      Last year or so, all commercialism and marketing types I meet, I want to choke. Cocksuckers would put a price tag on anything if they could. I almost paid for that fucking scheme.

   3. Mike Cernovich has some brain fitness exercises. Never tried them, but a few guys seemed to quite like them.

   4. Sales and Marketing plays a huge effect. Most likely like what you said…. Placebo Effect.

5. KRATOM

6. There’s an Elephant in the room here …..

   1. Don’t forget it bud…

7. I’d hate to be around smart drugs. Always second guessing me, fact checking my every word, being snarky. Fucking stuck up little drugs. I prefer drugs that are intelligent enough to bring me my pipe and slippers after I come home from work, but not so uppity that they’re always in competition with me. Cheerful, pleasant, happy drugs are much more my preference, they don’t necessarily have to be that smart.

   1. How much brain Kratom do I need in order to get past the cultural influences making me believe that (((sex))) feels good?

      1. Na I gave that shit up hours ago. It’s all rape. Nothing but rape and filler and who would pay for that?
         Nobody. That’s who.

      2. Oh shit, that is perfect.
         10/10

   2. 
      Hey if anyone’s bored telling Kratom jokes, wander over here for a bit of rage.
      This is how the third world is even talking about us now.
      Upside: I got into an argument with a Mexican today!

      1. They’re jumping on the bandwagon Bud Light started with Cuck Rogen and Amy Schumer.

         1. But from a Mexican company?
            Unforgivable.
            https://m.popkey.co/441ffd/9yXQv.gif

      2. 1. Nothing a line of machine guns and tank mounted flame throwers couldn’t solve.
            Throw in some helicopters and a few “If you let more across, you disappear” threat to Mexico City and we’re fried gold.

8. I only use Super Male Vitality by Alex Jewns.
   Now reduced for only 479$! Oy vey!
   What a nice price!

9. Oh man! Brain Kratom!

   1. It’s just not the same…

10. Will smart drugs cure my anal glaucoma?

    1. Yes, as long as you simultaneously use Kratom suppositories.

11. Goddamn distracting-ass ads with the pictures of women with their tits all hanging out. Talking about “You’ll never guess what happens next!”
    Gets in the way of the quality content I’m trying to read.
    Every. Fucking. Time.

    1. Mozilla with Ad Blocker Plus. That helps immensely. The only thing it doesn’t stop is that popup Deus Vult thing, which seems to be a plague from Satan himself.

       1. Lol Deus Vult message from Satan.
          How satirical.
          (It is really fucking annoying though. I don’t need email reminders for a site I read daily, nor do I need them repetitively offered to me in popup form)
          But yeah Im on my phone so I cant run plugins.
          More importantly, I was trying to read this long-winded, obviously reputable testamonial about brain pills or something and I find myself completely distracted by advertisements.
          This site is going downhill fast…

          1. I was actually attempting to be funny with that. heh
             It’s not the site, it’s the ad blocker or lack thereof. I don’t know what to tell you about a phone though man.

          2. -_-
             You’re missing my point though.
             This article is so valuable to the readership here. I wish that ads wouldn’t get in the way of it.
             Lol. Na this site keeps getting better and better every day.
             I don’t really mind scrolling past tits to get to the comments section. Those celebrity rehab pics will really put a damper on your day though..

    2. Along with the ones showing photos of allegedly real people about to die horribly, and the ones about washed-up celebrities who now look hideous.

       1. RIP Macaulay Culkin.

12. I see Mike Chang has diversified his portfolio.

13. If “smart drugs” really work as advertised, wouldn’t they turn you into an Ashkenazi Jewish brainiac or something?

    1. Rumors of their intelligence are highly over rated.
       If I interviewed the upper echelon academic types from Europe they’d put your Ashkenazi to shame.
       Kind of like how Asians are so intelligent, however if you visit any random village in China or Japan the native peasants are dumber than a bag of hammers. The folks doing population samples are taking less than random samples, methinks.

       1. “Kind of like how Asians are so intelligent, however if you visit any random village in China or Japan the native peasants are dumber than a bag of hammers.”
          how many random chinese and japanese villages did you visit when doing this IQ research?
          Oh, I know, but its the way you phrased the comment

          1. I have several well stamped passports.
             Just noting that it seems that the “look who is smartest” types cherry pick out of the ranks of Asians and Jews, and then take our samples out of deep Appalachia.

          2. haven’t studied the issue really. I did have a look at the Bell Curve and the debates following it. It’s an interesting area but obviously very politically charged

          3. Yeah, I know.
             I really wish there was a “Here’s the facts and nothing but the facts” website where one could go to get objective analysis and information on any given topic. Like IQ, or which diet is actually the most scientifically beneficial to humans, and stuff like. You can’t do that now though, because if somebody isn’t trying to sell you something, they’re trying to change your politics. It’s frustrating.
             I think it was Tolstoy who mentioned that he’d like to just once in his life meet a totally honest man. I get that.

          4. There are totally honest men. They have autism or aspergers, may or may not have high IQs, but either way are highly likely to offend everybody by speaking their minds
             IQ debates are interesting for a while, but they always, always get nasty after a while. IQ differences are real enough, but environmental stimulus / interaction makes a lot of difference in how a person develops

          5. On average, dirt-poor whites and Asians score higher than upper middle class blacks, at least in terms of SAT tests.
             Whether you consider the SAT to be an intelligence test is another debate, I suppose.

          6. From personal experience, the SAT is all about knowing how to take the test.

          7. Nevertheless, the gaps persist.

          8. I’d have to see those studies, to be honest. I know some very, very smart black people, and I’m not in some intellectual utopia, I’m in freaking farm country Ohio. I also recall having to tutor quite a few Asians in calculus in college.

          9. Again Ghost, statistical averages.
             I know Asians who suck at math as well. But stereotypes exist for a reason.

          10. So show me the statistics. I know way too many smart black people. That said, and you know this, I’m way way disappointed with the “average” black, especially inner city blacks. So I’m not white knighting for anybody here.

          11. http://isteve.blogspot.com/2014/03/2008-sat-scores-by-race-by-income.html

          12. That’s a blog linked to a blog. I may have missed some actual .edu/.gov study link though?

          13. The follow-up question would be just how black are they?

       2. Not true. They’ve done studies with Chinese peasants. They still score higher than wealthy Arabs, for example. I’ll admit that Europeans, or perhaps more specifically northwestern Europeans, do better in terms of abstract thinking than Orientals as certain studies have shown.
          To be fair, IQ tests are still not quite an exact science, but for the most part it seems the findings are accurate.

          1. It’s hard to dispute the Cold Climate Theory where high population density + temperate climate = high IQ.

          2. The more you’re challenged to survive because your environment creates problems that need constant solving, the more you’re going to see a selection bias toward intellect.

          3. Exactly. Which is why Europeans and northeast Asians have the highest average IQs. The environments in which they evolved required constant problem solving for survival.

          4. That, and I’m just throwing this out here, there appears to be some level of correlation between interbreeding with Neanderthals (who apparently were very smart) and whites and Asians (homo sapiens sapiens) intelligence levels. I suspect (no proof) that Neanderthals were smart but, well, pacifists or wimps. I’ve nothing to back that up with.

          5. I think it was more like Neanderthals had larger craniums, but Neanderthals were also bigger than Homo Sapiens, so it evened out. (I don’t know if one species was smarter than the other, have to read more on that.) It’s clear that the mixing between Neanderthals and humans out of Africa led to the best of both worlds, a larger cranium (allowing for higher IQ) with a smaller, more efficient body size.

          6. I think it’s more likely that Homos Sapiens Sapiens (HSS for brevity) were fairly intelligent but highly aggressive (look, let’s be real, Africans are uber aggressive) and Homo Sapiens Neanderthalis (HSN for brevity) were larger, slower and more, dunno, peaceful/altruistic or something The big ass brutes were all about flowers in the graves and such, and didn’t seem to have a lot to indicate constant warfare, whereas HSS were all about kickin’ ass and taking names. A convergence equals a larger HSS, with a higher level of intelligence. The aggressiveness seems related to how far HSS bred with HSN. But again, just sheer pulling this out my ass as speculation.
             Or whatever. There’s clearly a genetic difference at play here, all other factors to the side. “Solve problems all the time” works for Norther Europeans, but then, Romans were major engineers and they lived in fun warm places.

          7. If you haven’t already read it look up The 10,000 Year Explosion by Gregory Cochran and Henry Harpending. There’s a whole section devoted to gene flow between Neanderthals and humans out of Africa.

          8. I’ll check it out, thanks. These topics interest me. I totally nerd out on shit like this. I spent several quarters during college in deep study of the English (Anglish-Saexon) Saxon languages between 400 and 900 ad. Just for kicks. Heh.

          9. except that Europeans didn’t have an especially challenging environment compared to any other group.

          10. Nope, they were smaller than Sapiens. Sapiens are a good head taller than Neanderthals.

          11. Northern Europeans (aka, Germanic peoples) didn’t migrate into northern Europe until after the end of the ice age. Neanderthals were not anymore peaceful than humans, and cold climate theory has no basis in reality outside of armchair pseudoscience.

          12. I am going to repost this in a new comment because it is truly enlightening. FYI

          13. If they were really smart, they would have moved to a warmer climate!

          14. Oh please.
              Ok, so basically God just loves us and there are no explanations?

          15. Modern. Contemporary you’re incorrect, HSN were larger.

          16. Migrate from where? The Steppes. Cold there.

          17. No, but cold climate theory is half baked at best.

          18. With Arabs, it’s because of consanguinity and knowledge-repressed Islam.
              If they get rid of these two, they will excel and even do better than Asians.

          19. They’d have to stop inbreeding. That’s what’s really dragging down their IQs.

          20. I have my doubts, the Arabs have been cheating off of the West and Asia for centuries now.

       3. “Cold Climate Theory” makes sense to me, but I think political/economical values are grossly overlooked when determining intelligence. After Pol Pot got finished killing off the educated class, I’m sure the average Cambodian IQ took a tumble.

          1. I think it makes sense too.

          2. If cold Climate theory is true, what the fuck happened to the Native population of the Americas? Not to mention, the Europeans didn’t migrate to Europe until the closing of the ice age, and the entire planet had a pretty shitty climate (whether too hot & dry or too cold), so it’s pretty much bullshit.

          3. Cool. We’ll overlook mitochondrial dating that shows Europe was 100% colonized by homo erectus by 20,000BC. The last ice age did not end until 11,700 years ago. If my math serves me correct, that is 8.3 millenia of living in ice age conditions.

          4. It’s probably cold climate AND intermixing with Neanderthals, in my opinion.

          5. Especially the Indians in the USA/Canada as aren’t they supposed to be Asians who crossed the ole “land bridge” myriad moons ago?

          6. Exactly, this is probably the biggest hole in the cold climate theory, in addition to the fact that just because it’s colder, still doesn’t make it more hospitable than Africa.

       4. Asians are not any more intelligent than whites. The IQ variation is high among whites. With Whites, you are more likely to have Jackass type idiots but on the other hand, you are more likely to find high super geniuses from White race.
          Where else with Asians, the most they can top off is at above intelligent not super genius level like whites but Asians are also least likely to have defect idiots.
          Their IQ doesn’t spread that much and mostly clustered around 90 to 130 area where else white IQ can vary from 85 to as high as 160.

15. This sponsored post for clever pills doesn’t tell you anything about how it works.

    1. You have to take the pills to understand it, so explaining it to us now would be futile.

       1. you know that actually makes a lot of sense. Maybe you’re already on it but pretending you’re not

          1. Assuming I was, I wouldn’t be able to tell you because you’d have no frame of reference to understand my experience.
             Je sais que je sais rien.

          2. Stop supermansplaining!

          3. If he looks like Bradley Cooper all is forgiven.

          4. Are we talking about pills or God?

          5. I cannot answer your question without a clear understanding of the difference betwixt the two.

    2. But it says:
       “A much smarter and more cost effective way to get the most out of nootropics is to buy a high-quality formula that is fully transparent with its ingredients and ultimately is a product THAT ACTUALLY WORKS!”
       Isn’t that enough for you?

16. omg, ur finish last if dun buy this stuff from my link

    1. But…are you really finishing last, or simply finishing first for the next race?

17. What kind of side effects are looking at here? I’ve heard of drugs like these causing headaches, nausea, and disorientation, and memory loss.

18. I don’t really have the money to spend on that stuff (didn’t check the price, but I guess it’s at least 50 bucks per month). But it’s an interesting idea. Maybe it would help me have more stamina for my artistic stuff. But then, I hear coke does that too.

19. *At the risk of heart attack, suicidal thoughts, blood clotting, manic depression, penile shrinkage, and liver failure. Super Drive can be yours-for only $29.99!

    1. 1. Wow, that must have been from the seasons that I didn’t see.

20. I heard coke gives you stamina too heh
    

21. Do these really work? Or are neural implants better?
    

22. Certain things work and some don’t .. unless you have a medical study backing it-(which can easily be found) than as PT Barnum said; there is a sucker born every minute…… I found 5-HTP – 100 to work good for clarity/serotonin but it can be a little pricy. Most of these memory products contain just about the same things as all the rest in category. Ginko, L-Glutamine… nothing too exoctic.

23. “I think it’s more likely that Homos Sapiens Sapiens (HSS for brevity) were fairly intelligent but highly aggressive (look, let’s be real, Africans are uber aggressive) and Homo Sapiens Neanderthalis (HSN for brevity) were larger, slower and more, dunno, peaceful/altruistic or something The big ass brutes were all about flowers in the graves and such, and didn’t seem to have a lot to indicate constant warfare, whereas HSS were all about kickin’ ass and taking names.

    Or whatever. There’s clearly a genetic difference at play here, all other factors to the side. “Solve problems all the time” works for Norther Europeans, but then, Romans were major engineers and they lived in fun warm places.” GOJ
    To answer the last question about the Roman civilization and its engineering prowess. The “True Roman” is still an unknown quantity genetically. They were not Etruscan or Greek. Most likely they share a common set of genetics with the Phoenicians who intermingled with ancient western European peoples. Best bet is Norse people from what has been gathered.
    You hit the nail on the head GOJ. I have a big head and my IQ is commensurate with your statement. I wish I could identify the finer physical descriptions but I can honestly tell who came from that stock. There is a certain excitement about learning which I cannot describe. When are we going to see some GOJ linguistics and anthropology articles?

25. Is it true eating dogs makes you good at calculus?
    http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/06/18/article-2661107-1EB3C20F00000578-493_634x408.jpg

    1. dog brains of course.

    2. I don’t think so. I think the reason why Asians are “good” at calculus is because they spend more time studying and getting serious about school than most white kids.
       If most white people spent enough time on Calculus then they will be just as good if not even better.

       1. They study it more because they understand it better.

27. Cheating or Not, if it works then it works. Result is all that matters at the end of the day.
    With today’s resources, if a man really wants to bulk up then there is nothing to stop him.

28. I haven’t tried it yet, but I have several friends in the local philharmonic orchestra, and they ALL use it before major performances.

    1. Is that the highfalutin equivalent of the baseball players all wearing those screwy necklaces?

29. I’ve said it once here, and I’ll say it again: It’s all sawdust and sugar pills. Just eat a clean diet and your cognitive performance will be excellent.

30. Isn’t regular kratom already brain kratom?
