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.

It would be nice if some opensource programmers out there who were interested in doing a good deed could contact me for possible contributions.

    jumping spider wiring diagram

    30,000 neurons wire the little spider. They do not have compound eyes. They can seperate prey from other spiders. They can jump, they have advanced gyrocscopic control abilities. We don't know how they work.
