I seem to be able to read only for a few hours before I lose energy and become sleepy. When I rest, I do not wake up with much energy. When I am sleepy I cannot focus. I am lured into hedonistic pursuits, such as the repetitive lul of videogames - die - respawn.
Does anyone have any nootropics I would use that would not harm me? This seems to be a natural mechanism. It is as though my brain gets overheated from all the information. Sleepiness is like my cool drive. I am worried nootropics will upset the delicate balance mother nature intended.
The human brain is a large organ. It requires lots of resources. it is made up of 60 percent fat so it can retain more resources. People with large brains are irritable if they do not eat. The ectomorph biology maintains a higher metabolism to make up for their larger bodies and brains. I have a large body and brain. It is doubtful that farmers with the Ectomorph phenotype farmed all day. They likely worked in shifts, using workers to replace them. This in contrast to the society we have now, which is long work hours for jobs catered toward the endomorph phenotype. The endomorph phenotypes have less evolved brains, and thus can work longer hours without going into overdrive.
Motivation. It is questionable whether nootropics will upset the delicate balance, so the other factor is motivation. Energy is motivation and motivation is energy. There is no causal heirachy, they both simultaneously effect the other. A spark of motivation is all that’s needed to gain energy. As the brain luls into sleep, motivation is lost. The problem with endomorphs is that they never have the motivation to do any intellectual pursuits. With the DNA machine, I advertised a 750 IQ. However this brain would require a tremendous amount of resources to maintain. Firstly we should develop something which at least expands the brain to ectomorph levels. Secondly, we need to give the motivation and spark, for kids to learn. Without motivation, kids become too tired to think before they ever begin. Thus, they don’t even bother trying to think.
Thinking is an excersize, like baseball, softball, or dodgeball. Without the spark to play, people don’t even bother. Other people, don’t recognize their own limits. They say to themselves and demean themselves, because they happen to try to think when they are tired or in a bad mood. Then they call themselves bad names. It is a bit like a baseball player trying to play when he is tired and depressed, and saying to himself…Why am I such a bad baseball player? He is not a bad baseball player he is just playing at his worst. So it is with kids. They try when they are tired and exhausted, and because they don’t understand their feelings they make assumptions that they are incapable. Often times they are too lazy to even flip the pages.
Another key factor is stage fright. A lot of people dwell in the feminine, they are afraid of what others think. I believe on an internet boards you should say whatever you want. A lot of good ideas are lost in the aether, because people are too eager to be shy. For example, if you believe aether is real, say it. Either you will have a following, or you will get a good laugh. Say unusual ideas. Dont put them away because you are too lazy or self conscious or afraid of what people will say about you or think the words form some kind of bad voodoo thing. That is weakness.
