Question

Do you guys think there is a possibility that drugs such as NZT could exist? @Health Sciences

Answer 1

You mean, the brain pimping drug? I don't think so.

Here's why: it is a great myth that humans use, like, only 10% of their brain. In reality, only people with one hemisphere removed use half their brain. Every section of your brain has a distinct function. Heck, if nerve cells are not used, they die because of the absence of neurotrophic factors!

There are already drugs on the market that influence your thinking capabilities (or make you think they do :) ). But the limiting factor is the stress that goes along with information intake. It's mostly simple reasons that make phantasy phantasy :) There are no ultra-big spiders because they wouldn't be able to breathe, for example.

As for the brain drug: you are already using all your brain, so there is nothing to gain. Sorry to disappoint you. :)
