Using nootropics

Posted at — Jan 14, 2017

Today, more and more working on creating molecules, that can really enhance the performance of an individual, which after ingestion can lead to a competetive advantage over non-users.

Some think these kind of substances can improve the cognition of a self to a Limitless level. However using these nootropics not necessarily cause drastic effects, especially on a well-sleept, good nutritioned human. But what is nootropics’ by definition:

Nootropics (pronunciation: /noʊ.əˈtrɒpᵻks/ noh-ə-trop-iks)—also called smart drugs or cognitive enhancers—are drugs, supplements, or other substances that improve cognitive function, particularly executive functions, memory, creativity, or motivation, in healthy individuals.

The existence of this substances can leads us to interesting questions. Should we aware the problem that in a competetive situation (job hunting, test taking, etc) all being equal, taking modafinil pill results in minor improvements that is enough for winning the situation. Where should be the invisible line of legatimacy? Nations have different laws about using it, but blocking is not a viable solution I suppose.
