here's the amazing Vibecamp essay where the rationalists talk about "microdosing" meth if they can't take the adderall to become a financial genius like Scoot promised them - eviltoast

    (it’s a very long boring rambling essay where a horrible person talks about his fellow horrible people, for the bit about meth just ctrl-F for "meth " and marvel at what fucking galaxy brainlets the rationalists are)

      How do you find these things? How do you read these things? I’m starting to worry about your health David; such a continuous stream of highly concentrated horseshit can’t be good for you.

        speaking in general: the tpot crowd are rabid about posting about their own shit, and will get alllll frazzled up the moment anything like this happens. and they have just-enough overlap with quite a few circles that if you happen to be connected to x/y/z it will readily cross your radar

        but one can also keep an eye on them directly to see what they’re up to. and there is value in that too, despite the mental downpayment it requires
