our chemical future [General] — rustle @ 12:06 am

modafinil

johann hari, recipient of the orwell prize for journalism, wrote an interesting article in todays boris-fest of an evening standard. in the tradition of aldous huxley he tried out Provigil, an treatment for narcolepsy that appears to enhance brain function by inhibiting tiredness / laziness. It is said to enhance attention, clarity of thinking, IQ, and even weight loss. Hari took away some pretty positive results, though said he would only use two or three times a month in future. This is the stuff of the future. I can see students of all ages reaching for a packet. Gone are the days of caffeine pills and stimulents. The MoD is even buying it in bulk. Welcome to our chemical future.
