Aldous Huxley

"Thought is the brain's three milliards
Of cells from the inside out.
Billions of games of billiards
Marked up as Faith and Doubt.

"My faith, but their collisions;
My logic, their enzymes;
Their pink epinephrine, my visions;
Their white epinephrine, my crimes.

"Since I am the felt arrangement
Of ten to the ninth times three,
Each atom in its estrangement
Must yet be prophetic of me."

Buckminster Fuller

The support of life on our planet consists of two kinds__metaphysical and physical. Both cosmic and terrestrial energetic regeneration, organic and inorganic, are physical; while the know-what of pure science and the know-how of applied science are both metaphysical. The know-what of science’s experimental evidence informs technology’s know-how to employ efficiently the substantive resources and synergetic metaphysical patterns progressively found to be operative in Universe. These are essential to the maintenance of life on board our planet as well as in mounting local-Universe exploring excursions from our mother-spaceship Earth.

Nootropics

Morning:

Glass of OJ (approx: 300ml)

Mixed w/ roughly 1g Piracetam, 650mg Choline Citrate, 500mg actyl-l-carnitine, 200-300mg centrophenoxine, optionally 100 mg aniracetam.

Effects: Good arousal but not pushy. Slight improvement in mental clarity, words come more easily, thoughts are more linear, attention span increase, more relaxed, easier to form concepts, simplify problems, etc. Strangely relaxed, a calm insight into the world is more accessible now.

Roughly day 3, and the first day I've tried the centrophenoxine (which I hold out the most hope for due to mechanism of action).

So far side effects practically nil, no headache, nausea, upset stomach, minor aches or anything associated with potential side effects so the therapeutic index for these substances is still seemingly high. Nootropics are supposed to increase mental clariety and stop or reverse aging. So far so good.

The ergot based nootropics I have yet to try. They represent the most experimental and potentially dangerous (w/ regards to side effects) class thus far. According to the research and literature, the most extreme benefits may derive from an ergot based nootropic like Hydergine. I know from certain past experinces that ergot derived mesolates produce neuro-vascular dialation and dopaminergic stimulation.

PARTY LEADERSHIP AND ELITE RECRUITMENT

Influence and prestige within the party power structure are directly associated with the rank order in which the members of the Central Committee are listed. Key posts in party, government, and economic organs are assigned; higher-ranking Central Committee members also are found in the armed forces, educational and cultural institutions, and other social and mass organizations. Many leaders concurrently hold multiple positions within the party, the government, and the military.
