It's funny to me that no one has ever claimed to have accomplished anything globally significant while using nootropics to my knowledge.

Mood elevators or stimulants, sure. Hitler was all into those. But, nootropics? I mean, I guess it depends on where you draw the line of what is considered one.

That's because they are dead.

I feel like everyone in this thread, including the author of the blog, is retarded except for you.

People calling the XBox 1 a car, not realizing that consoles are the horse and Steam/online digital gaming is the car, since you can buy a functional new gaming computer (laptop!) that can play any modern game for $400 or less, a $499 price point on the XBox makes no sense at all.

I have gall-stones and another unidentified digestive problem that does not allow me to eat very much sugar or fat in any of my food, essentially knocking out about 99% of foods found in the world today out of my diet.

I mostly eat protein power drinks with almond milk, basic grains, vegetables, very lean meats, etc. etc.

I used to be a professional cook. I now cannot eat anything remotely fun or tasty. But soylent seems like one thing I could actually add to my regimen.

How does diaspora focus on privacy? The whole point of Diaspora was to implement a decentralized Facebook.

Diaspora as it has been, is centralized, and doesn't seem to be anything but a smaller, crappier Facebook.

Friendica does what Diaspora was supposed to do, and well, and can integrate with the Facebook API and download your personal Facebook feed into your Friendica feed.

Zelda 2 is considered by so many weak-willed children of the 80s to be the "hardest" Zelda game, and yet it was not even included...

Excellently put, the solution in the short term is counseling and creating a culture in which down-time, leisure and enjoyment of life is prized more than "putting in your hours."

The purpose of automation is to make our lives easier. We have to think that a bum living on the street is not a drain on society, in a lot of ways he is doing more "work" just to keep himself alive than the average wage-slave. We need to stop thinking that "work" is somehow the goal of a person's life and transition to "enjoyment" being the goal.

Ask any musician during the pre-internet era and this would be their assessment:

Recorded music will always be the profit center. Live performances are only good for promoting a band's records; it's easier to sell 1,000,000 records than it is to sell tickets for 1,000,000 seats.
